Yummy Hand Dyed Corriedale Roving!!!

Watch out.... I busted into that bump of Corriedale that's been sitting around here....and wow!! I love it! All of these are 8 ounces....snap them up quick before I decide to keep and spin them all!!!

New Yarn!

Here's what is 'fresh from the dyepot' this week. I've been concentrating on filling out my selection of Tiger Twist colors. If you haven't tried this yarn base yet, you are in for a treat. This 100% Superwash Merino Wool yarn is specifically spun just for making socks. It has a tight twist, and is a bit overplyed to make it very sturdy and amazingly springy. It will also lend great stitch definition to your projects.

First up is Cascade. It is a blend of deep pine green, browns and tans, and a splash of aqua/teal.



Next is Bed of Roses. It has crisp greens and perky pinks.



This next one I had some trouble naming, but my friends on Ravelry helped me out! This is Suede and Sapphire, and is mostly browns, gold, and just a splash of stunning blue.



Antique Rose has gentle linen tans, a soft green, and gentle burgundy.



Winter Morning has soft blues, greys, and a bit of buttery sun peeking through.



This one is on supersock....Cranberry is a saturated red just right for the holidays.



Limeade is on my merino lace, and is a refreshing semi-solid to show off your pattern.



I'm also trying to fill out some colors of semi-solids. This week I did sage and pale purple. Each is available on Supersock and Tiger Twist.

And just for good measure, here is some rainbow roving I've been spinning up for what seems like months. I'm maybe halfway through plying, now.


I shipped out the July sock club on Saturday, and so far one 'Squee'! Once everyone has enjoyed their surprise, I'll post a picture.

Fiber Friday, June 6

At long last, I did some serious dyeing of roving. Here is what was dry, more to come soon. I did these in the 'jar dyeing' method, so they are a bit randomly dyed, but it beautifully preserves the loft of the wool. I am very pleased with them.
