Summer bright - winter warmth

Hand dyed, handspun Superfine Tasmanian merino wool(15microns!) this means it is very soft and snuggly next to the skin. A thick and thin yarn plied with the Navajo Technique to emphasise the texture. 7 wpi or approx 12 ply/bulky yarn There are two skeins for sale - so thick and soft I filled two bobbins on my Majacraft Rose Spinning Wheel. If bought separately there is enough to complement another yarn as a highlight. If bought together you could make a cowl or even a cloche. Skein 1: 90gms and 53m for $15 + pp Skein 2: 63gms and 36m for $10 + pp Of course, if you buy both then the postage will be combined. As usual contact me through email or Ravelry.

Polwarth and Bamboo

Handblended on traditional wool combs this polwarth fleece and dyed bamboo from EGMTK was a softly spun Aran/10ply yarn. It will make a beautiful snugly scarf.

Great Beanie Picnic

This lovely soft yarn from a EGMTK batt was sold at the Great Beanie Picnic held on 20th February for the exhibition of the Alice Springs Beanie Festival Travelling Show . The lady who bought it has at least one beanie in the show - she wasn't sure if she would use it for Art Beanie or for herself. either way it has gone to a good home. Most people seemed to be poking around looking for a bargain, and as any spinner knows fine blends don't come cheap! Still we had a good afternoon and I was able to demonstrate/teach a few younger people to drop spindle and showed them how to make a CD spindle of their very own.

Handspun & Hand-dyed Ringrove Fleece

Tour de Fleece Day 3

Getting very confused over which "day" I'm actually working on. Probably doesn't matter as long as I upload once every 24 hrs, though. Having a great deal of fun and doing a lot more than the pictures show - preparation and finishing and so on.
