A Winter-time Activity

Loomcraft Loom
Here's a Winter-time Activity that may be new to you. 
Do you feel the need to start a new project, maybe something to do with your hands besides playing in the garden? Maybe that new hobby in your future is Looming, "weaving on a loom", one that that can be fun and rewarding...and one that you can feel a sense of accomplishment yet have fun with. You will be able to see your progress while you learn something new and then give it away to friends. This also can become a way to make another income, however large or small it is.

Are you yarning to spin your own yarn for that knitting project? Raw wool can be purchased to use, but you will have to clean it and prepare it, or you may opt to buy wool already processed and ready for you to spin into your favorite yarn.
Don't feel sheepish, you may like it after all.


Front to back, Jerry, Ben, Shawn, Mary.
We can all say that this is truly a Farm to Table type of hobby. And if you own your sheep, there is an added benefit called good compost for your garden. You just have to put in a compost pile and let it age to the proper consistency.
