I'm hosting a poll...

...and need your opinion. It can be found here in the Yarn Group on Ravelry. It's about spinning fiber and worsted weight yarn and the put ups you would prefer to buy.
Thanks for helping out! I learn the most from you, my potential customers!

More fiber...

in the shop today! It's Polwarth/Silk and BlueFaced Leicester/Silk.

I have colorways of coordinating green that would look awesome spun up alone and plied together! If you do that you'll have a sweater's worth of handspun yarn and you won't get bored in the process!

I've got a...

...contest going on over in my Ravelry Group. Come check it out for some fun!

Meanwhile look what dried today! I'm very pleased with my spinning  if I may say so!

I finally got my sweaters worth, (maybe more) yarn done! It was a very fun project that I started in the beginning of December. I went stash busting for all the blues and some purples that I had. I blended them in my drum carder and here are the results:
5 skeins with an average of 4 ounces and 370 yards, 2 ply heavy fingering.
Total of 21 ounces/1.3 pounds and 1886 yards! Perfect for this sweater. I think. I could change my mind...

I spun this in the spring and finally got it plied, I had other plans but I decided to Navajo ply it and make a hat for my sister with it, it will match her coat perfectly.

Finally from my own hand dyed is this skein for a friend of mine. She has been an awesome inspiration to me while starting my business.

New to the shop...

...is Polwarth/Silk! It's a fantatic blend of fibers, strong, bouncy and full of memory, it will hold it's shape well in a garment. I have plans for a sweater with it someday. I tucked 8 ounces of this last batch in my stash for it. I'll add more to it as I get them. Polwarth is great for beginner spinners because of it long staple length. Did you know that any fiber with silk makes the staple length longer? It sure does and it's a smoother spin I think.
Here's what's new in the shop today:

Thanks for looking!
