I received a very special treat tonight. And no it's not someone's pocket lint or a dust rhino.
It's a tiny tuft of qiviut blended with silk.
It's not enough to do anything with but I'm so warm blooded that qiviut would be way too warm for me. It's just enough to have a little bit to feel. Fairies would spin this stuff, it's so incredibly soft. Imagine the smoothest silkiest hand lotion you have ever had. This is smoother than that. Now I understand why this goes for $80 an ounce.
The chorus has given me much, not the least the cameraderie of an extraordinary group of people. One such couple are Chris and Nancy, retired professors who love to travel to out of the way places. Their home is a treasure house of items they have picked up from their excursions to Asia, the Americas, Africa, and Europe. I love going there because I always find something new that I haven't noticed before.One thing they do is collect rugs. They graciously granted me permission to take photos of their rugs. The variety of designs they have is incredible and the ones they have on display are just a portion of the collection. I can see how Kaffe Fassett fell in love with the textiles out there. Who could not marvel at the design and color of rugs like these?
Wouldn't it be fun to have one of these as a magic carpet?
