Too Many Rabbitsons

Spring is in the air and the Rabbitsons are shedding like crazy! I am overwhelmed with spinning. My hands are a little sore. Every weekend Peter goes out and takes the shedding comb to them and returns with more rabbit fiber. I found out that the sooner I spin the shed fiber, the easier and nicer it is. We have four different types of fiber... the Brucey-Penrod mix, All the Stellas, Judy and Poppy. We keep them separate and double them with wool. The back of the couch is covered with hanks of yarn that are waiting for dying and winding. Peter is busy spinning wool only. His yarns are closing in on spectacular.
