fiber

and it isn't for me!


from left to right:
alpaca, acrylic, angora (on top), 80% bamboo/20% wool (on bottom), bamboo ribbon, cashmere, cotton, hemp (on top), linen (on bottom), silk (on top), and wool (on bottom).  All these are 100% of whichever fiber (excluding the wool/bamboo blend).  Morgen is doing a science fair project on the tensile strength of different fibers after they're exposed to extremely cold temperatures.  And I'm pretty excited about this because I can help! I know fiber!!  Plus she won't need the entire skein of each fiber- just 15 yards or so- and I'll just have to find something to do with the rest of the yarn. I hope I'm up for the challenge...
