Blue

Blue! Oh so blue:) I spun up this beautiful yarn from one of my dear friend Shelby's flowers:)There is no other word for it other then blue:) It is soft yummy merino, my favorite! I got 116 yards bulky, it will make a great hat or mitts. Love it!



This is what I think I am going to spin next:) No one seems to like this colorway and it is just sitting in my shop begging me to spin it, how can I say NO!

Spinning for socks:)

I finished spinning up some superwash merino yesterday. I showed you all this yarn when it was on my bobbin last week. I spun some fine singles and then N-Plied them, so that I would get yarn that stripes. I am really happy with the finished yarn but the yardage is low. I am not sure why it is so low because it is very fine yarn! I only got 310 yards fingering out of 4 ounces of superwash merino, at this weight n-plied I usually get at least 50 yards more:( O-well, I will make some short socks:)

What I am Working On!

I am spinning up some fiber from Christina Marie Potter! I love how it is turning out:) I might make some socks with it!


I am also knitting the Umaro blanket by Jared Flood. I am totally loving the big fat yarn and needles. This is going to be a quick knit! This Cascade Lana Grande I got at the Bee rocks!!!!

Fiber Compare:)

So yesterday I dyed up a bunch of fiber for the shop! I also dyed a little more sock yarn. Anyway I thought you all might like to see how the sock yarn and some Falkland combed top, took the same colors a little differently:)
