Some yummy Cormo

This came out alot greener than I thought it would, but I really like it:





Here are the singles-


And a badly exposed close-up!

Dyed More Stuff!

Did some Crock-pot dying, got my system figured out!


Roving, these are both Cormo from Shepherd Susie (whose Fiber Farm is moving to Virginia and will be henceforth be known as Juniper Moon!)

And used the extra dye up on two hanks of laceweight from Knit Picks:

Last of the Fancy Yarns on Etsy

I am posting these last two skeins of yarn on Etsy tonight - LunaKnits - I am working on closing down that shop so I lowered most of the prices on the knit scarves and shawls. Anyway, these are the last, begged, borrowed, unraveled and stole to piece together enough bits:

OK, so Fine it took THREE days.....

Lookie what I made!

Here is the more greenish ply getting steamed in the dyepot - it is roving from Martha's Vinyard Fiber Farm - my very most favorite fiber farm in all the land!

It is the top (upper) roving drying here-


All spun and plied with this blue wool which I think is correidale wool, but it seemed a little too fuzzy for correidale...ummmmm
All done! About 8 ounces, maybe about 450 yards!

Spinning, I'm Spinning!

Yep - I'm spinning, got to plying, tomorrow yarn pics!

New Blog

Hi Everyone! (OK - Hi to the 4 or 5 people who actually read this blog!!)


I am actually posting something new! The fiber is slow but the garden is AMAZING! Here are some photos from the last week of June, I have to figure out my new camera to get the latest photos.

Pumpkin Vine!

I am getting tons of potatoes, who'd a thought? They are delicious and totally worth growing!

Quick and Dirty Storm
I did get photos of the half of a tree that landed in our back yard with no damage. A wind sheer came down the street behind us and many trees came down, we have been hearing chainsaws fairly constantly for the last 3 days. Our neighborhood was very lucky and no one was hurt and the majority of the tree bulk fell between houses. A neighbor's car was damaged, a back deck taken out, part of a porch, a gutter or two but really lucky.


Notice the bark resting on the hammock!

The arbor was already lying down to be painted - no damage to anyting but a hydrangea bush - whew!

More Handspun

Quickie post - finished spinning up the dyed roving from last post, plyed it with some nice blue I had dyed several months ago - nice nice!











Pretty yummy! I hope to finish up my MVFF/HVFF cormo/angora tomorrow! It is supposed to rain all day - how unusual for this spring - so I have a spinning/sewing day planned.
