"Thank you so much for the beautiful work you did for me. The custom made angora rabbit & silk hand spun & hand woven & hand knit pillow shams are absolutely exquisite. The beautiful super fine merino wool scarf is also wonderful. Everything came out even better than I expected. I look forward to working with you again in the near future."

| "I had the opportunity to spin some of the fleece from Franklin's first shearing (isn't it great to have handspun with a name!). I
bought the fiber unwashed, and while it was clean with very little vegetative matter it was also pretty greasy so I ended up washing it
and hand carding. The long staple made it fun and easy to spin and the end product was surprisingly soft. While Franklin is
predominantly black, there are touches of brown and even a little silver that make a beautiful, interesting yarn. I added a few strands of gold lurex for accent. I was so pleased with the result that I gave it to my son's fiancee for Christmas to knit a hat - they live in Colorado, and this was the perfect yarn for a cozy knit cap. Thanks Diane!"

First of all the dye took just beautiful and the locks shine like silk, I can feel the lanolin on my hands since I didn't scald them first but they took the dye anyway's. When I started brushing them out I was amazed to see that the locks are a staggering ELEVEN inches long!! Please give Ambrose a thank you pat from me and tell him what a beautiful boy he is. I will definitely contact you again for more, thank you so much."
