Wool weather finally!

Wool is still my favorite fiber. Yes, bamboo is soft and drapy. Yes, Seacell makes merino extra soft as seen in the sapphire , but wool is the base of these blends. I am having fun listing more dyed wool churro, more funky natural handspuns, and then my whole cache of gorgeous millspun medium grey Lincoln yarn. This yarn takes dye beautifully to give a heathery effect. Oh, and the little potpourris, like this Fall sampler here are a way to try churro in projects like needle felting.

I dedicating the next few days to filling my shop with more dyed churros to have on hand for the Team Etsy Texas First Monday sale, October 5th.

Baby Blankets and Handspinning=perfect weekend time

I have been spinning some very fine yarn out of blue merino
mixed with seacell and clear angelina. I plied it last night
and am so pleased to have finally created a delicate yarn
on my spinning wheel.
I'm currently knitting up a fluffy baby blanket for my nephew and niece-in-law's (is that a word?) little baby girl who is due in early July. I'm using up a huge stash of Sirdar's Snowflake yarn. It's not very pleasant to knit but makes a blanket the little ones love.
It's been a quiet weekend full of my own projects with no time constraints.
Love it!
