Spinners like to have their ‘tools’ within easy reach, so many of us habitually have a little bag hanging on a peg of our spinning wheel.  In it we keep the little oiling jar (to keep the wheel quiet & running smooth), but also scissors, string, cell phones, snacks and bits ‘o fluff plucked away while spinning.

Wooly Sheep bags: natural Brown Shetland, Green BFL locks.
Swinging Sheep bag: um….exactly what IS that retina-searing shade of orange?

These bags are an opportunity for fun and function.  Here we have bags on the whimsical side of function!   Fanciful, colorful sheep having a swinging good time.

Angora Rabbit fur bag (the 1 & only so far) + Wooly bags: a natural Shetland, and brown dyed BFL

I even ventured over to the bunny side, working the first time with Angora Rabbit fur.

Pardon me a moment….”thrbbbth!  thrbbth!”  I’ve got fiber in my mouth / stuck to my clothes / static’d to my fingers.  Angora rabbit fur is notorious fly-away fiber and a real challenge to work with, so there’s only the one so far, though more Bunny Bags will be made following Oregon Flock & Fiber Festival.  Perhaps I’ll have them done in time for Fiber Fusion Northwest coming in October.

Natural color Angora bunny fur.

Each bag approximately 5″~6″ tall, not including cord.
