Someone on Etsy liked my “Ultra-Violet” roving so much, they asked me to spin them some yarn using those colors. So I recreated this roving and have a single on the bobbin right now. I will be getting a ball winder so that I can ply this back on itself. See, I have pictures!

I was on the Etsy Showcase today(2-3-07.) I didn’t see as much activity as I would have liked, but I will concede that the store is not stocked as well as it should be. The good news is that I have purchased more dyes to dye with. The bad news is that I am running out of fibers to dye. I also gained a few hearts which is nice, it means maybe I will see people back.

In other news, my spinning group is Sunday and I will (hopefully) have a chance to try out 2-3 wheels that I am interested in. Then, if the tax money holds out any… I will be able to buy one. Wish me luck!

Just a quick update to say that I should be listing some more items this weekend. This will include some of the items in the picture below that have not been listed.

There have been a few listings posted over the last week. The apprentice and I have been hard at work dying fibers, washing the raw stuff as well as sorting and organizing in general. The next immediate goal is to list these things.

Here is the newest listing: Strawberry Shortcake

10% off the price of the above listing after visiting the blog. Just type FFYR2 at checkout and wait for an adjusted invoice. (Offer good through January 15, 2007)
More dyed fiber, sock yarn and handspun to come. Stay tuned!
