Avalanche Lily & Mr. Rawles –
Just wanted to say that Survival Blog never ceases to amaze me! As you may know I’m not a fan of the entire survivalist or “prepper” craze, but I have to admit the drum carder and angora bunny advice posted today was spot on. I would not have guessed that SurvivalBlog [readers] would have been as knowledgeable about home textile production. (However I did take exception to the sheep recommendations.)
You may be interested in my “dish towel” project. Sometime within the next couple of weeks the flax straw from this summer will be rippled and retted; with scutching, breaking and hackling to follow. Spinning the line should commence by the middle of October with weaving by Thanksgiving.
Again – I’m impressed by SurvivalBlog. All the very best to you and yours, – Granny Miller
