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 [1]. 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 [2]
