FYI

Postal increase will be in effect on May 12. 2008. I'm not sure how it will affect my shipping charges. I'll not be making any changes to my shipping charges until I've analysis the postal rates.
On another note, I'm almost done plying Sunflower, 100% superwash merino from Spincerely Yours. Besides Sunflower, I have 3 different skeins of handspun waiting for their photoshoot. After proofing the pictures. I'll post a sneak peek.

Emerald Isle

I've added Emerald Isle to Etsy. I have also updated the yarn weight of my handspun on Etsy & Ravelry to match the numbers from Craft Yarn Council of America. There is article written by Amelia of Ask The Bellwether regarding WPI and yarn weight numbering by CYCA.

Anyway, here's a picture of Emerald Isle and the specs:

Emerald Isle - Handspun Merino Bamboo

Approx. 352 yds
Approx. 4 oz or 113g

WPI: Approx. 16
Gauge: Approx. 5.75-6.5 sts per inch
Suggested Needle Size:US 3-5
Weight: Sport

Finally I've good pictures of Nimbus from Carol of Black Bunny Fibers and Black Magic from Pigeon Roof Studios. I'll update Etsy & upload the pictures as soon as I'm done watermarking them. Also, I'll update the yarn weight on my photostream when I'm able to.
Thanks.

Meredith

New episodes of Grey'a Anatomy will be aired in 14 days. I can't wait for the show to be back on. Here's Meredith (100% superwash corriedale) to tide us over till the show is back on. She's in the shop right now and she's dyed by Carrie of Funky Carolina.

Meredith- Handspun Superwash Corriedale

Approx. 319 yds
Approx. 4 oz or 116g

WPI: Approx. 16
Gauge: Approx. 6.75-8 sts per inch
Suggested Needle Size:US 1-3
Weight: Fingering/Sock

A note about Chai: when you zoom/enlarge the pictures on Etsy, you can see all the sari silk and glitz/angelina sticking about and you may think that this yarn is scratchy/itchy but it's not. I think it's because the batt was triple carded. The yarn is very, very soft.

I'm still struggling with pictures of Nimbus and Black Magic. Will update when I have more.
Thanks.
