Eye Candy…uhm…Saturday.
The one with all the…where did the last three weeks go? Ohyeah…
This might have had something to do with it. Oh, and tax season. ;o) More details and her name coming soon! (next week is looking good…)

…fiber. It’s been so long since wool has appeared on this blog that some of you might not recognize it! ;op
First though, the booth in VT:
(with Tamara, and two ppl hiding ;o) )
and now…what I spun that day:
This is Cashmere/Merino in Moody Neapolitan from Into the Whirled. Love these colors! This might turn into a scarf for me…we’ll see!
That’s all for now! Happy Thanksgiving-eve! (and be sure to stop by the shop over the weekend…I might be having a bit of a sale…and the Holiday prints will make their first appearance!)
Friday’s Eye Candy…
…on Tuesday. ;o)
I just couldn’t get it together to post this on Friday (or, apparently, on Monday) but I don’t think you’ll mind since it’s a pretty. ;o) Here is the handspun I produced while at WOOL:
This is Tibetan Dreams from Crown Mountain Farms (very old colorway, from when Teyani was still dyeing for them), 428 yards, 2-ply fingering weight. I spun the singles prior to WOOL and plied it on Risa’s electric spinner while there. ;o) This hank is ginormous! Almost as big as my HEAD!
This is Orchard from Spunky Eclectic, Merino/Silk, 250ish yards, 2-ply DK weight. I finished spinning the singles at WOOL and then plied from a center pull ball while there.
Last but not least we have Grand Opening from Spunky Eclectic, Superwash Merino, 236 yards, Navajo plied DK weight. I spun these singles prior to WOOL on Emma (my Symphony) and plied them while there.
I did a heckuva lot of plying while at WOOL, can ya tell? ;o)
