Shipping charges & sneak peek soon

I've updated my shipping charges on Etsy. I've finished proofing pictures of Passion (merino/tencel), Phantasm 2 (wensleydale), The Perfect Storm (wensleydale) and Aqua Velvet (superwash merino). I'll post pictures and specs of the yarns as soon as I'm done watermarking them. Athelas will be added to Etsy soon. Hopefully late tonight or tomorrow.

Chloris 2 growing up

Jackie custom ordered Chloris 2 and she sent me a picture of Chloris 2 in progress. It's being knitted into a multi-directional scarf. Jackie has added this WIP on Ravelry. Chloris 2 is spun from 100% superwash merino dyed by Tamara of Spincerely Yours.

Sari has been added to Etsy

Sari, spun from superwash merino, angelina/glitz/sparkles/sari silk has been added to the Etsy.

A note about Sari: 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.
