Thank you & Sneak Peek

Thank you to my customers who participated in the Birthday Celebration Sale for M1 and also for wishing her a Happy Birthday. Here's a sneak peek of some yarns that are drying . It was drizzling for most part of the day. Hopefully, the yarns will be dried tomorrow. The kiddos went to their swim lesson in the drizzle and it was cold.

Below is a comparison of the intensity/saturations of the same
colorway - Chloris.
Left to Right: Chloris, Chloris 2 (both in superwash merino) & Chloris in superwash wool. All dyed by Tamara of Spincerely Yours.


Here's a picture of a bobbin (about 2 ounces) full of the gorgeous Peruvian Merino. Iris is dyed by Carol of Black Bunny Fibers (Team B Fiber Club).

Here's a swatch for Tempest. I'm using superwash merino sock yarn from Fearless Fibers. The darker yarn is called Chocolate Pink Cherry (will be the main color) & the other is Infatuation (the coordinating color). M1 helped in choosing the colors.

I have 3 pictureless WIPs. They are a poncho for M1, a sweater for M2 and Lizard Ridge (project while waiting for swim lesson to end) for the sofa. I'll try and take pictures soon.
