More Yarn Porn!


Here's a new skein I spun up over the weekend! It's from handpicked and dyed wool from Ashley...called Thunderhead. I haven't decided if I'm going to send it to Ashley to sell on her site or if I'm going to sell it on my own. I LOVE the colors in it, and it's way cool and slubby! The flash on my camera was necessary, but this yarn is not as bright as it looks. True to its name, there's a lot more grey and greyish colors in here. It really looks like an angry thunderhead!

Here's some fiber I dyed using Wilton's Icing Dyes. I LOVE variegated yarns and fibers (and plants!) and the way the Wilton's splits into its component colors is so cool, and never the same twice! I did this fiber using Wilton's black, overdyeing some grey Jacob...which I promptly traded to Colleen for some yarn for a top for my daughter! I'm sure she'll have a ball spinning it up! I can't wait to dye more up for myself!
