Finally I was able to take some pictures of Snow Squall and Snow Squall 2 that are close to true color. Snow Squall has more teal than Snow Squall 2. Snow Squall 2 has more dark blue on it. They are not as gray as the pictures shown. I decided to spin it into sock/lace weight so that it can be knitted up into shawl. This yarn is not for next to skin wear. It feels just like Lopi yarn. I'll try and add Snow Squall and Snow Squall 2 to Etsy tonight. I'll update if I do so.

Tie Dye, Cowgirl Chic and Audacity(Masham) are drying now. More updates when they are ready.

Later, Alligator!

Walking On The Sun & Purple Haze - added

Walking On The Sun & Purple Haze have been added to the store. I'm still trying to take pictures of Snow Squall. The colors are not coming out true. I may give my C-740 a try.

I just looked at my kids school calender and realized that there are 9 more days of school before Spring Break.
