I've really had to curb my fiber impulse buying because I'm seeing a "top of his field" therapist not covered by my health insurance. He's worth it, I assure you, but I spend almost as much on his sessions as I do on rent and as such my slush fund has long since depleted.
Since I can't seem to actually stop buying fiber (which I should probably bring up with my therapist at some point), I've limited it to:
- naturally-dyed fiber, commercially-prepared or not (i.e. things from Kristine or Maia and Brooke)
- Extremely artfully-dyed fiber (i.e. Krista's Pigeonroof stuff)
- non-commercially prepared fiber
So, falling into the last category is the stuff I bought just a few minutes ago, from Spiderweb Specialties' etsy shop. I just couldn't pass these blends up: shetland, alpaca, and angora in natural grey, and shetland, alpaca, and angora in Moorit color. I honestly don't know when I'm going to get around to spinning all this stuff.
I would love to do a fiber swap with some people at some point, as I have lots of really wonderful stuff that I'm either tired of or bought way too much of. Just don't ask me to organize this at the moment.

You are hilarious! As I have tapered off my therapist appointments, from every week to every other, I am certainly happy that my fiber is still here to give me comfort and solace on a weekly basis.
Thanks. I used to say that fiber is cheaper than therapy, but fiber and therapy is pretty damn expensive.
If I have to sit and spin by candlelight and eat noodles, I'll do it (I don't, though).
