latest fiber

I've been dyeing like a mad woman lately, this time out of pure joy than pressure. I've been having so much fun painting tone-on-tone and more organic colorways. I think these are going to spin up into gorgeous yarns and plan on doing some demo yarns myself.

Here's a peek of what I just loaded to the store.



Just got an electric skein winder in and am hoping to have some hand-painted yarn available for Thursday's update.

gettin' a little cray-zay!

...with the yarn anyway. my emotions are another story, but that's being helped with the assistance of dark chocolate.

i spun this recent yarn from my #1104 colorway. i think it's going to make a *really* fun hat for my *really* fun friend.



i've been having a murphy's law kind of week and will be very happy to have my orders finally shipped and lucky if i have some roving dyed for tomorrow's update. dark chocolate...dark chocolate...

I'll be updating the shop at 9pm EST tonight. Here is a preview of a few things to be posted.

Latest yarn

So I haven't spun a lot of yarn in the last few months because my head's been in the dyepot. I finally get around to spinning, hoping I could knock out a few yarns this week, and I end up spending 4 days on one yarn. At least I'm happy with the results. With all that time put into one yarn, I'd be pissed if it turned out looking like crap.

The skein:

The colorway I used. It's an oldie called Calypso that I dyed last year:

Ravelry Fiber Swap Club!

I am so excited I found this Ravelry group! It's a great way to create custom fiber gifties for people and receive custom fiber gifties for yourself. Deadline for sign up is June 21, so sign up now!

Ravelry Fiber Swap Group

Go to the "NEW! Sign-ups for ROUND 5!!" thread towards the top of the posts.

This is not my club, but I love the idea of it so much that I felt compelled to promote it. Plus, I'll be taking part! :D

Estes Park Wool Market

This post is a couple of days late, but I had an awesome time!

I ran up there for just an hour or so with the intention of picking up some undyed combed top. (need it to dye b/c my big shipment does not come in til next Thursday). Alas, there was no ecru combed top to be had, but I picked up the most amazing CVM/Corriedale cross fleece from Sheepfeathers. The crimp is insane and the color is a delicious variety of cool smokey browns. AND I found out that the breeder is just the next town over, which will be great for scoring more of this stunning fleece in the future.

I also put down a deposit on a **cherry Matchless**. I had tried a Matchless when I was a beginning spinner and since I was then a beginner I couldn't really tell the difference. But when I tried one yesterday, having a little more experience under my belt, I was sold. HAD to have one, and since she had one cherry left to sell it just made perfect sense. Not to my pocketbook, but to my fiber addled brain.

Only went into the goat and alpaca tents (the goat population seemed far smaller this year than last?), and took a couple pics of a beautiful fawn alpaca that stole my heart.

Glad I decided to go up. :)

Uberlicious FIBER CLUB!

Hi Everyone! I have decided to offer a monthly fiber club. The Uberlicious Fiber Club! What I will be doing is offering a particular fiber (mainly luxury) for the upcoming month, open a limited number of spots, and ship by the 15th of that upcoming month. The colorways will be brand new and will be guaranteed not to be replicated for at least 6 months.

This month you will receive at least 4 ounces of sumptuous 80/20 Merino/Silk combed top. I will only be offering 12 spots. The price for the combed top will be $22 with U.S. and Canadian First Class shipping being $3 and International shipping being $6. It will be shipped to you no later than July 15.

Slots are available on a first come, first serve basis, with slots opening on Etsy at 2pm EST today, June 15.
