This is fun with all these new colors to play with. I wasn’t satisfied with the skein colors I made yesterday but I think this one is going to come out better. The orange looks pretty bright here but I think the rest of the colors will modify it in the end. I hope. Anyway, [...]

From start to finish, our dying project. There was more to it, of course and more colors. I have a large plastic trash bag stuffed with colorful carded batts to make into more yarns. And a bit more yarn to dye. Quite a bit more naturally colored to card and blend, as well. I spun [...]

This is just one batt I made from the fiber Rosy and I have been dying this week! We have had a whole week of fibering! We dyed and blended and spun. We also visited and ate and slept and went shopping. In fact… I bought a vidcam. I think that’s what it’s called. So [...]

We drove up to Scott Mt. yesterday. They were just the getting the pass open and it’s snowing like the dickens again this morning down here, so you can guess what it’s doing at 5000+ feet. I was hoping to go to Rogue River on Tuesday but it looks like I might have to cancel [...]

I think it was a success. It was pretty easy to knit and this old Red Heart wool yarn felts very well. Makes a nice, nearly hard, fabric that should hold it’s shape pretty good. Which is more than I can say for the handspun swatch. It’ll be very nice for a blanket or vest [...]

This is what I did today. I dug out the email Laura sent about how she made hers and found some old Red heart wool in that stash Randy brought me and … ta-da! it’s all know except for the idiot cord . I decided it needed a bit of extra support there, but that [...]
