GREENER SHADES DYES AND HANDSPUN

Two colors...one pot.  Love this dye and the end results.  Yarns are for sale.

PLAYING WITH FOOD COLORING AND SURI LOCKS

 One pot and four food coloring dyes produced this lovely assortment of colors with a light antique caste to them.

Next step is to put them through the carder.

DYEING TO STAY INSIDE THIS WINTER!

What do you do when the polar vortex is howling outside your front door?  Break out some lovely Shetland fiber and food dyes and play on the woodstove.

These yarns are available for shipping.  Contact me for yardage and pricing. 

 

Also play around with overdying some light moorit locks which resulted in some really lovely batts.  These are available for sale.

Some of my handspun yarns from this winter of artic blasts.  All for sale.  Contact me for yardage and pricing.

CHRISTMAS CRAFT SHOW HERE I COME

 Our farmer's market in Marquette ends on October 27th.  This will give me almost a month to spin, knit and prep enough inventory to attend the annual Christmas Craft Show in Marquette's Dome.  Last year 10,000 people attended the three day event.   I am hoping it will prove to be a good market for some of my less pricey items.  We shall see.  I just hope I have enough fiber, as I seem to be going through the 2012 clip at an alarming pace.

One Fleece

That is all we still have for sale this year, as all the Cormo X top is sold along with the other fleeces.

I want to thank my customers for their business and love of my fiber. I believe we will have some truly wondrous fiber and rovings available next season by mid-summer as I've had a chance to look under the coats on our flock and beautiful things are happening.

Check back with us if you have any special interests and get on the list.
