Busy, Busy!

Last weekend, after having returned home from Vegas, Jenna came over to mi casa for a play date with our dyes. I experimented with a few new colorways for roving...



Definitely liking the intensity. I need to make more in the same vein as Jenna and I plan throw our hats into the hand painted ring (read marketplace), offering our fuzzy wares for sale. Just giving you all a head's up...

A few weeks ago I hand painted about 1500 yards of mohair. I love the results!



And finally, I am spinning weekly, if not daily at this point. Unfortunately, my spinning regimen tends to wane when I am traveling. I feel as if I have to give my wheel love when I'm back home (and in between design projects). Currently, I am experimenting with a new colorway...



I'm not sure that I like this yarn yet. The colorway seems a bit conservative to me. Thoughts?

  1. There's nothing the matter with conservative! I love the new yarn. Of course, you can always pair this "conservative" yarn with some hot aqua yarn!

  6. Nice colorways you created-what method do you use to dye your roving (if I may ask please)?

    Play dates at yours sound super fun... dyes and colourways most iridescent. I like that last colourway, too.

  8. Oh, I like the yarn in the last picture. It's not as vibrant as the other, but we don't fell so uppity all the time either, right?

  11. Humm I thought I'd made this comment already...

    I would think of the yarn as a canvas, awaiting the creative embellishment

  12. I agree about the intensity of your colors - they are stunning. The spun yarn is nice - conservative, yes, but nice none the less.

  13. I like the top two pictures colors, but not really the bottom, a personal preference I suppose. But boy you really are doing so many diverse things and evolving!

  14. What's a "colorway"?

    I don't know!

    But thanks for visiting my blog. I crochet too and aspire to write patterns one day. I'm pretty sure it would help if I could follow one accurately. LOL

    :o)
