April's Club Fibre is here!

Alrighty then, so this months fibre has arrived and I have to say that I don't like it.  I had got this idea in my head about how it might look and its nothing at all like I envisioned.  My dislike for it has nothing to do with me being disappointed with the fact that its not like I hoped or envisioned but purely to do with the fact that its just too bright and colourful for me and I know that the colours will muddy and make for a very "barf" colour if I spun it as it is.  My plan will be to split it into small chunks and spin it with some black or dark grey fibre so it will be colourful, black, colourful, black all the way along one ply and just black for the second ply.  Not sure what breed yet, but definitely a natural black or dark grey wool, possibly Zwartbles but most likely to be Jacobs.

The fibre is 55% Merino,  30% Zwartbles, 15% Sari Silk


Shortly following the delivery of this fibre and discussion within the fibre club group I had yet another disagreement and fall out with the woman who runs it and I got put "on the naughty step" for having an opinion about fibre that I have paid for. 

I've been having fibre from this club for 2 years now, as well as buying directly from her online shop, and this is certainly not the first time that I have had a disagreement with this woman over something but it certainly will be the last as I have now had enough of the attitude and have initially put my subscription on a two month holiday as the payment for my next month has already gone out of the bank and if I tell her now that I want to cancel she is likely to take the huff and either not send the next fibre and then give me grief about getting a refund or she will block me so that I can't get the spinning hints for the next months fibre.  Once I have the next fibre and the hints I will then cancel the club subscription properly. 

The quality of her fibre is brilliant and I will miss it, but seriously, I really can't be doing with the self-righteous, only my view and opinion matters attitude any more.  Its a funny way to speak to customers and there are plenty more worthy fibre sellers who would be welcome and appreciative of my custom.
