Oh and several people asked me at CS if I had any yarn spun from my own sheep. Unfortunately, I didn't at the time because everything I'd spun from them had been promptly knitted so that we'd finally have something to wear from our own sheep (it was desperately desired and long-awaited). BUT, I have finished some hanks finally from Tartan's wool, my funny wether, that I will sell.


So here they are. They're not listed on Etsy yet (a lot of work, listing). This one is
a strand of each, the white and black. It was hypnotizing to spin but such a fun yarn.


When I separate the white and black wools there is invariably a lot of gray area. Here
that "tainted" wool is spun randomly and from the locks so you get the full range of tonality.
The above yarn was carded (a sort of combing) that homogenizes the wool, so to speak.
So the sun-kissed tips (caramel brown) are visible in this hank because it has not been mixed.

have you tried listing it at "Craftsy"? Ive never used it, only saw it recently as an ad on facebook.

the yarn is BEAUTIFUL

I like the bottom one best, .
bought a beautiful yellow rose this spring in memory of our daughter who LOVED yellow roses, it bloomed today .....a deep almost black velvet red

ran out of fabric softener last week, poured white vinegar on a paper towel and tossed it in the dryer with cloths, worked great! had read about it before but never tried it,...nice to know in a pinch

finally got some rain this evening, sure does bring the mosquitoes out

Hi gigiok

Beautiful yarn! I like the bottom one best too.

I am raising mosquitoes in my backyard.
I hope there is no city ordinance against it- however, the inspector is more than welcome to take them.
I went out between downpours yesterday to try and save my tomato plants- I wasn't out there long, My husband asked, "what are you doing?"


Well, the mosquitoes have to be fed- they have been waiting all day"...

I think she is playing a joke on you

Yellow roses were my Mama's favorite too.

The mosquitoes were horrid here too. I thought they were going to carry my little dog away, they were swarming around him so bad.

My crummy wireless is sooo slow that it's allowing my laptop to doublepost.  Sorry. 

Where is chicken stock ? I would love to be part of it next year.
