So this is what I've been up to...

Here's a sneak peek at some of the yarns to be offered, with more pics on my flickr page.

Limited edition CUSTOM Holiday Fiber Club

Hi everyone!!! Please forgive me for my lack of updates recently. Between focusing on necessary home improvements (danger of the deck collapsing) and branding a new YARN LINE to be sold at retail stores, I haven't been able to be in the dye pots as much as I would like. So I wanted to offer something very special to my loyal customers. A CUSTOM COLOR FIBER CLUB, just for the holidays! The fiber offered will be extra special as I LOVE it so. It will be 6 ounces of the finest Targhee combed top with an average staple length of 4 inches, super soft and bouncy with an approximate micron count of 22. Really amazingly lovely stuff.

You will have a choice of three colorways. Each colorway will be built around one predominant color. Red (a), Violet (b) or Teal (c). These are approximate swatches and please understand that not all monitors depict color the same way. You will have your choice of three primary colors. Each colorway will be built around one predominant custom color. Red (a, top), Violet (b, middle) or Teal (c, bottom). These are approximate swatches and please understand that not all monitors depict color the same way. Once you pick your choice of a main color I will contact you within the coming weeks to work with you on creating your TRUE CUSTOM COLORWAY. We'll talk about other colors you would like to incorporate, depth of shade, etc. This fiber will truly be one of a kind, created just for you alone.

Each fiber will be gift wrapped and include a mini sample skein of my new yarn line, debuting over the holiday season. U.S. shipping will be by Priority Mail to ensure that you receive your holiday fiber the week of December 14th. Space is limited, so lock in your spot while you can! Spaces for this custom holiday club will be opening on my Etsy shop throughout the day and are $28 a spot. If you would like a double or triple helping please contact me and I will create a special listing for you.

Thank you and happy holidays!!!! ~Lisa

Introducing Crash Test Colorways!

Hi everyone,

Well, I’ve been absent for a while while I was awaiting a precision scale and other supplies so that I can now write down formulas in order to repeat colorways. I am in the process of creating a permanent collection of colorways which will be loaded to the store on a regular basis and capable of being repeated.

While I determine which colorways will be permanent, I will be doing a bunch of testing. The test rovings will be offered in my Etsy store as “Crash Test Colorways”, only available in that one Etsy posting as it was a test colorway. Along the way, if any colorways really speak to you, please post here to let me know. I will consider reproducing the most popular ones. :)

BTW, Miss Poppy Flower is doing very well these days. Not up to 100%, but at least to 95% :D.

Updated tonight, 9pm EST

I will be adding a few braids of hand-painted Merino combed top this evening. Here's a peak:

Sorry my entries have been so sparse. Poppy is continuing to improve, but fighting some kind of stomach problem. Taking her in to see the vet yet again on Wednesday to try to fix it. :)

Customer Appreciation SALE!

All 4oz braids of spinning fiber will be REDUCED to $14 as a celebration of Poppy's improving health thanks to my loyal friends and customers.

Here's what I've been up to lately in the dyeing pots:

On a Poppy note, she is continuing to improve. I just took her off the pain medication today to see how she does, and so far so good. :)

Fiber club giveaway WINNER!!!!!

And the winner is.........Beadmomsw on Etsy!!!!! Using the random number generator above, your number 48 was selected!!!! Congratulations! I will be contacting you today to arrange for your custom dye of 8oz Cashmere/Superfine Merino.

Thanks to all who have participated! Poppy is doing much better and the MRI that you helped fund is what allowed the docs to determine a diagnosis and treat her. Without the MRI she would still be in very poor condition. If it were not for all those who participated in so many ways, the MRI would not have been possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. :)
