Need to SPIN

I am in the mood to spin up some fiber today! I finished the homework that is due tonight and I’m hoping to get some things cleaned up so I can spend some guilt fee time spinning. I keep shopping for fiber but I haven’t made any new purchases. I have a lot I can spin right now so I should wait until after I move before buying more stuff. I should also wait until I make a few more sales on etsy… So hint hint everyone, if you buy from me then I can get some new fiber ;) I am looking at getting something that is new to me like maybe this Falkland merino top in pretty light blues and purples from Three Fates Knitting. Or I’m also totally in love with this superwash merino blend in the Grady color way woolimina. Right now I’m just letting my wants list grow instead of my stash but I’ll need new fiber eventually. If you don’t see anything in my shop you like you should look at these shops because they have some really great items.

KoolAid Dying

I had one of the nicest people ever on ravelry send me some free alpaca roving! She said that the smell was something she was allergic to (I'm not sure what it is but it is definitely smelly). It so soft though and she also sent along some spindles to try out. It was one of those things that really just makes your whole week great! It’s not often that someone is that thoughtful and kind and expects nothing in return except that you pay it forward someday.

I have never dyed alpaca or roving before and I thought maybe some fruity kool-aid goodness could help with the smell. I split one of the braids in half and I dyed it in the crockpot. After I was all done my boyfriend really wanted to try it so he used the other half. Mine is the red/purple/blue combo and his is the every color combo. He can’t wait to spin it up and I can’t wait either because it’s going to be so awesome!

    I work, take care of my babies, read, and maybe sometimes knit.
