Most Expensive Thrift store Purchase! Bison Fiber!!

[@traciperdue]

Sounds like y’all had a good trip. Hope you’re having a great day. Love the new fluff.❤

[@susanwhalen1034]

That was a great story about the bison acknowledging you. The purple and nauve yarn looks like it matches your hair. HOW COOL!

[@Jenni35500]

I love animals more than people too. All they want is love & food ❤️

[@janmosteller124]

My bison/buffalo story - on the way to Cedar Point from Michigan there is a wild animal park in Ohio that allows you to drive through the park with your windows down so you can feed the animals using the food you purchase there. You need to drive slowly and carefully as the animals roam about freely. At one point while stopped, a bison ambled over to my side of the car and eventually put his entire head inside my suv. His horns were poking into the fabric at the top and his fur was in my lap. My daughter, in the backseat, and I were laughing hysterically and I was even able to snap a photo. The picture is all fur and one large eyeball. One of my favorite memories.

[@CinnamonStitches]

I have been to that animal park and that buffalo did the same thing to me. Those things have hot breath!

[@barbaravaccaro7033]

I was given an ounce of buffalo roving a few years ago. I spun it and plan to knit it into a necklace when I find the perfect buffalo button or charm to use as a centerpiece.

[@kayefudge9469]

Hi Jennifer how exciting all that fluff to play with but I'm interested in the cleaning of a it and your whole process Kaye x

[@NannaLannaCrochet]

Me too

[@sheilabarker840]

I Pray you and your family has a HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

[@boosmimi2]

Don’t worry, Jen. I’ve always called them Buffalo, too. I’m 66 years old and they will always be Buffalo. lol I just love you. Love your laugh. Loved your Buffalo story.

[@cathiesmith0812]

Jennifer, you are all good. I call them buffalo as well. I love how real you are. Thank you so much for being so real. God bless you and your family.

[@sherrieanderson2524]

I have skirted, washed, dried, carded and spun shetland wool. It is so satisfying to know you have done that from startvtome finish.

[@jo7127]

The fibres look amazing, so happy for you 😊 Excited to see the beautiful yarn you will create ♥️ Happy Thanksgiving 😊

[@sinaf.2866]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! ❤

[@onemadscientist]

Awesome find!! Can't wait to see what you make of it.

[@manfasmakes-sam]

So awesome you spoilt yourself 🎉 Enjoy ❤

[@bearmom-th3dl]

Old keys, watch parts, everything you can't live without

[@JolieCrochetbyDominique]

The wool is an exact match to your hair. 😊❤

[@karenb6791notakaren]

Love your new fiber. Maybe wait until your back feels better before cleaning and spinning it? Hope you have a great weekend, Jen! 😊👍🧶

[@CinnamonStitches]

Absolutely

[@floief]

I think it's so wonderful that Lucas is that talented. Letting him upload his work, I think, was a good idea. We let our granddaughter upload her part in a talent show when she was in elementary school and she was so proud. She kept at it and in her senior year she went to state. After school her spare time was filled with music and theater. You know, healthy things for young folks. Your son is gonna have so much fun with that tablet!!!

[@cherylherrera6917]

I have never known Buffalo as bison. It's always been to tatonka, thanks for sharing.

[@loisczerkies6621]

No explanation needed to anyone Jen, you do you. Life is too short, do what ever makes you happy honey. I love your channel and your creations.

[@deborahwright7153]

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone

[@connierodecap6385]

I love to see how excited you get talking about fiber. Have a great Thanksgiving.

[@conniehalloran5066]

Jen I’m so glad you bought the buffalo , yes I call it buffalo too and always will . I’m too old to change what I call it . Consider your purchase an investment in you business , as it is ! No guilt ! Happy Thanksgiving !🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃

[@StellasMom]

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 Jennifer. What a cool find. Can’t wait to see once it’s spun. Love to you and the family 💕💕

[@berniehines9313]

I am so excited that you went for it and bought Bison🤗! You certainly don’t have to justify your purchase to me or anyone else. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

[@user-judyb-999]

I love that you still have the bracelet on…❤❤

[@suebigger5097]

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 Love seeing you so happy and excited about your buffalo fiber Wish I had that store near me!!

[@kellyfazekas7831]

I TOTALLY get your buffalo vs bison thing. I used to drive by a farm that had 3 bison when I lived in TN and I looked for them every day. If I saw them I'd say "hi buffalo!" (They never said hi back tho, go figure). If I didn't see them I'd worry lol.

[@sherylyoung2007]

Sweet!!! Awesome find. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

[@judyinmichigan3418]

I learned so much from watching this video. I didn't know anything about dry rot, or Buffalo yarn so exciting to watch & learn, washing ect. That's so cool. Thank you for taking about this totally exciting.

[@kathywelch8722]

I’ve always called that animal a buffalo. There was a farm in my area growing up that raised buffalo. I really don’t know what the difference is. lol. It’s good to see you so happy with your purchases. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. 🧶💜🙏🏻

[@maryhummel2886]

Good morning Jen ❤ Happy Thanksgiving

[@bjbaar3]

I admire your enthusiasm.

[@louiseduguay1915]

Hi Jenifer, bison is expensive because, can you imagine trying to shear one of those big beautiful animals. 🙏💞🙏

[@grandmadiggs4943]

Happy Thanksgiving, Jen and your wonderful family ❤

[@carolynbowen3386]

Happy Thanksgiving! Glad you had a great time and were able to get some things that you love!❤

[@TrinaAtkinson]

"I don't want that buffalo in my mouth...it's dirty" 😂😂😂 that's brilliant!!!

[@christinemcsunshine]

😊 Awesome purchase, can't wait to see how the cleaning and combining process & the spinning too. There is a buffalo farm near whereI grew up. I wonder if I could get some buffalo fluff🤔. Have a happy Thanksgiving EVERYONE 23:15 23:16

[@dawnuselto8777]

You can get 2 dog slicker brushes and use them in place of carding combs!!!! Just FYI!!!!

[@JacquelineAutumn]

I recently discovered your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and life. I really enjoy your channel. I was so moved today when you said you love animals more than people, I get that. And I am right there with you on " wishing I had the encouragement " to become a veterinarian or something. Animals bring me so much joy. Oh, and thanks for taking care of the puppies, we need more people like you! Happy Thanksgiving!🦬🦬

[@valerielucero5837]

What an exciting experience to see a Buffalo that close. Youll make that fluff useable and spin up beautiful.

[@aprilm3848]

I’ve never seen you spin. I can’t wait to watch the whole process. It’s fascinating! I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving! 🦬🦬🦬

[@SaundraClare]

Oh boy....thats very high end bison yarn....nice gift!!

[@larrygreen3988]

Sending you my warmest wishes for a happy and blessed Thanksgiving. May your day be filled with happiness and peace.😘❤🍗🥧

[@jerrianngordillo-marty161]

Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Thursday❤

[@dianesass9901]

You left me laughing out loud 😂. Have a great day 🎉❤🦃

[@debbiegray4989]

I am a bison fan too. My high school mascot is a bison. Even after 50 years it's "Go Bisons". I am in Pennsylvania along the west branch of the Susquehanna River where Bisons roamed the area.

[@JudiH-ig6uu]

Jennifer...it doesn't matter what you spend, or where the money comes from. You don't owe any of us explanations or reasons. Good for you!!!!

[@mariebrotherton2664]

Love the fluff story happy turkey 🦃 day

[@alicefredrickson4574]

I say buffalo 🦬 . Yellowstone is amazing.. your haul is great. Enjoy yourself. Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Do take care. 💜

[@franpinson67]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Can't wait to watch you make yarn. Love watching you.

[@bearmom-th3dl]

Yes, everything you can imagine can be found in art and craft thrift stores. Had no idea how common they are!

[@denisejf]

I also refer to thrm as buffalo. I'm so happy for you that you were able to purchase the buffalo. Looking forward to seeing the whole process. 😊 It will be very interesting. Wishing you a wonderful blessed day/night 🙏🏻🥰💖

[@sandratanner8138]

I don’t think that the buffalo fluff was a bad price. That’s a ton on fiber. It’s all beautiful 😍!

[@pamstarr6570]

Morning Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@FiberArtsFinatic]

Buffalo is amazing to spin up!!! Enjoy!!

[@judy6863]

Hi, happy thanksgiving .

[@Jenz607]

You may like to watch Cross Timber Bison.. Big Joe and Dunbar are the greatest characters. Their personalities are so lovable.

[@DianEnglish56]

Hi, Can’t wait to see what you do with the yarns you got! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! 🧶🫂

[@annmowan7367]

They actually are called by both names here in the states. The buffalo from Africa is a water buffalo. So you are totally correct calling it/them buffalo.❤❤❤

[@JosieBrislawn]

Bugfalo. Its ook ❤

[@FiberArtsFinatic]

You can even use dog slicker brushes to card. And the smell is typical.

[@ModelbuchMuse]

You can find cheap dog brushes that work great for carders. They used to have them at the dollar store, but it has been a long time. I've worked my way through several fleeces that way. Your carder should be fine, just might get your carding cloth dirtier than you would like. I'm excited to see how this goes!

[@SaundraClare]

Oh yay....cant wait to watch u clean that stuff up

[@teresab126]

Oh my gosh! I was raised in the upper Midwest, we call them Buffalo also! 😮😮

[@suedudley8123]

Wonderful fibers Jen, that buffalo is going to be awesome! For the "uninitiated" (like me lol), where in the process do you wash the fluff? Before or after you spin the fibers? Really look forward to your demos on your channel!

[@faeryvixenetc]

can't wait for the Buffalo video!

[@DebraWhite-fh4ii]

I call them buffalo too

[@cherylford8237]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family

[@kraftyangels1934]

[@Nanapwc]

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

[@debrathacker306]

Wow this something

[@scottydog6539]

Happy Thanksgiving

[@cathyhall1338]

There is a "buffalo" farm near my place in VT. I also know they are bison. And I also insist on calling them buffalos.

[@Beauxsmom]

I am from Nebraska and we say “buffalo”, so go with what is used where you are.

[@donnakosik7379]

Wait Jennifer we must have buffalo because we used to have the buffalo nickle. LOL or was it the bison nickle and I said it wrong for the past 60 something years? 🤣🤣

[@KimMesser514]

Hi Jen, what size carding tools do you have? Just curious.❤

[@CinnamonStitches]

Right now all i have is a small board and paddle for making rolags.

[@kraftyangels1934]

Happy Thanksgiving to family and u Jennifer and my dog is dying right now lab dog not good its hard on me look hi😮m my vet keep him relax. He will not put him down . He get treats and loving and family.

[@victoriasshupe9450]

Totally get the cost and not knowing what to make. I went to alaska and bought 50 % qiviut/50% merino 200 yards for $120. I don't know what to make. It will definitely be an arloom piece. Any suggestions?

[@CinnamonStitches]

I have no idea. But i bet its so nice

[@shirleybrown77]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@debbiechase7762]

❤

[@badgegirl1833]

The purple and mauve bag matches your hair. All are beautiful colors. My question is, why do they dye the yarn before they clean it? "I'ma be real honest with you," this Buffalo bag is gonna be WAY more work than them three puppies you just fostered; I'm just sayin'. But since it's something you'll enjoy doing, maybe it will feel less like work since you know the end product will bring you so much joy. Just another warning from me.😅😂😅

[@CinnamonStitches]

Fiber is never work for me. And i can do it at my leisure.

[@TinaCasna-Clark-gg2dm]

Good morning Ms Jen. Stop yawning girlfriend. It is making me yawn. Too much to do today. LOL.

[@rebeccablankenship5493]

Hi again, Jennifer, I’m the goofy lady who ran into you in the restaurant this morning and said hi and turned her back on you because I didn’t want to seem rude and bother you and probably seemed rude because I turned my back on you😮 anyway I was excited to see you. Hope you had a great meal.😂🫣

[@CinnamonStitches]

Lol i just wasnt sure where i knew you from. Then you said you watched my videos and it took a minute to realize you were a cinnamon bun . Lil man didn't even realize anyone said hi. But he was so excited that we were recognized. Im actually not feeling real great, so my brain took a long time to realize what had happened. If you ever see me again, feel free to come say hi. And let me know who you are. i love being recognized.

[@rebeccablankenship5493]

@ I never thought I’d react that way, but as friendly as you are, I still was worried that I would bother you. If I see you again, I’ll definitely talk to you and not act like a goof.

[@CinnamonStitches]

@rebeccablankenship5493 no bother at all

[@shirleyspring4905]

You are going to have so much fun with the 🦬 Buffalo fluff! Great find!
