See, I told ya!

I promised I'd have more fibery updates for you today, and here they are! I told ya!

First, for the sweet, lovely, and talented Natasha who I tried to email these pics to THREE times, some yarn on the spindle that I spun from fiber from her shop, Luxe - wool, ingeo, a ton of different angelina (SO sweet!) and some other stuff, I'm sure! This was chock full of texture and pretty surprises. Natasha has such beautiful fibers and gorgeous yarns - I aspire to create art like hers! And her new hand-dyed sock yarns are to die for, too! Sorry the pics are a little blurry, I was trying to take them before my daughter took my spindle! I wish I lived close to Natasha so we could hang out and spin and have fibery fun...she's one of those people you just can't help but like, even if you only really "know" her through her blog!

Here's some of the yarns I've been spinning lately that will be in my Etsy shop hopefully by tomorrow!

Flamino Toes, falklands wool....so squishy and BRIGHT!
















Fraggle - handdyed domestic wool with rainbow-dyed lincoln locks spun in!














AHHHHHH!!! Blogger drives me NUTS! Why is it that whenever I try to load more than 1 pic at a time they all disappear?!?!!? I'm going to SCREAM!!! ahem...

This is I Got the Blues, which was spun from injection dyed fiber...very cool! A fun, relatively low-maintenance way to dye.














Here's Lookin' at You, my first hand-painted (as opposed to hand-dyed) fiber spun up. Hand-painting is tons of fun, although I can only do it when my daughter is in bed, since I have to spread out all over the dining room table! Toddlers and colorfast dyes don't go together too well (neither do toddlers and oil paints, but that's a different story!)
And last but not least, Rainbow Connection, rainbow-dyed Merino with angelina spun into it like locks. It will probably shed angelina as it's knit, but it looks SO pretty!
