This weekend I hit up 3 fiber shops in one day with my friend Mary Kay. That has to be some sort of record.
Now I am on a mission to get the absolute worst yarn (above) done before I allow myself to dive into the luxurious fibers I just bought. I have this box full of horrible wirey, course fiber that I had bought when learning how to spin. I dyed it all with kool-aid when I first started dyeing stuff and it is all mostly bright kool-aid colors, not mixed, but just straight from the packet, cherry red, lime green, blue raspberry, orange, etc. That wouldn’t be so horrible if it weren’t for the texture, and the fact that when dyeing the wool I often felted it, AND it is out of control with nubs AND vegetable matter. I’ve finished about a bobbin and a half and it has taken me foreverrrrrrrr. I just want to be done with it. Honestly, I think it will look really cool because it is just about the same thing as this, but it just doesn’t feel as wonderful as it looks. It will be good to destash this monster pile of fiber, in perfect time for the move. Now if only I could do something about my 2+ tall laundry bins full of yarn (not handspun). Can we say garage sale?
The colors are so much fun together!
Garage sale?! After sorting that yarn I think I should get first dibs!
