    Default Fiber Fair find

    Went to a Fiber Fair with my wife today. Lots of great flyting things there.
    One place was shelling alpaca roving. I got two light colors of brown.
    As the lady was starting I saw there was one piece about a foot long. Told her to throw it in as I would be tying flies.
    She asked if all of it could be short pieces and I said yes.
    The price on the bin said $3.50 per ounce.
    I ended up with almost four ounces of short piece sand they charged me $5.
    I need to end them a couple of flies to give to her brother.
    She was so happy to get rid of the short pieces.
    Lots of "hares ears" coming
