Kentucky Farm Visit
FiberCommentA delightful and productive visit with Don & Lanette, an inspiring and informative trip, from which I came back energized with a multitude of ideas and techniques to explore in new felted products for J. M. GENERALS.
While at the farm, I was shown interesting recycled synthetic fibers: namely from recycled plastic bottles that can be put to all sorts of uses.
Also worked on blending American Superfine Merino with American Cashmere on the felting machines. Excited by the product possibilities.
Look out for blended Merino and Cashmere scarves coming to the store soon.
