Of Spinning and Yarn

I finished Spinning the yarn for Terri, my thousandth customer, and boy, is it ever purdy.

4oz, Superwash Merino, dyed by me, to Terri’s specs, she told me she liked my brights, like the turquoise blues, and lime greens, but also the pinks, and yellow, and maybe some black. So I dyed up a couple of rovings, and this was the one I liked best, a bit heavy on the green, but I you know I like the greens, I just hope Terri does!

More? Okay!


Check out that barber pole action! Love. It. Terri, I put it in the mail today, and you should have it soon!

Also, for the rest of you like minded fiber addicts, I put up a small SHOP UPDATE today, just a little while ago. Ther will probably only be one, possibly two more before I go out of town for Xmas, so get it while you can!
