More yarns going to Yarn Rescue

First of all, I just want to "publicly" thank Patrick from Wichita for his lovely email! Turns out Patrick has been buying my yarns through Lynnell, and wants to credit me for the yarns of mine he uses in his freeform crochet work! WOW! So wonderful to hear that people like my yarns and use them!! Thanks, Patrick! This is "Moody," 93 yards of supersoft Merino spun thick n' thin. I purchased this roving through Handpainted Yarn. Nice stuff! It's a pretty blend of dark blues through to lighter blues.
"Royalty," 132 yards of 2-ply gorgeousness! 70% Merino/30% silk, painted in gorgeous royal blues, berry purples, emerald greens. This is one GORGEOUS skein of yarn!
This is "Napa," 85 yards of Falklands hand-dyed by Sheilah, who is one of my favorite fiber artists to buy roving from. She has a real gift for color, deep purples and greens and everything in between - reminds me of grapevines in the sun.

"Little Girl's Room," 86 yards of BFL hand-dyed by yours truly. I LOVED spinning this fiber up, and the blend of colors from sky blue to lavenders to pinks is gorgeous! I think BFL is probably my favorite fiber, I've dyed some more up, so you'll be seeing more of it in my yarns!

Long-needed yarn updates...

New yarns will be winging their way to Lynnell tomorrow. Here's a preview: "Boogie Nights" 77 yards of Romney that I spun from cute little rainbow batts, spun with light blue mohair locks. Not the softest yarn in the world because it's Romney, but a pretty yarn!
"Coastal", 91 yards of turquoise and pink yarn spun from fiber from Ashley. Soft and squishy domestic wool.
"Bibbidy-bobbidy-boo", 55 yards of Merino in 4 different, very complementary colors, spun with soft and very springy bright pink mohair locks. I named it in honor of my daughter, who is now a huge Cinderella fan, and considered keeping it for myself!
"Chocobrite", 72.5 yards of natural brown Shetland, spun with fuschia Merino, blue Corriedale, and blue and teal silk noil. I got the batts for this yarn from Ewenique Fiber (no matter how many times I see any play on words featuring "ewe" instead of "you", it doesn't get old. I'm lame like that!)

"I Go Day-glo", 70 yards of 2-ply eye-bleedingly bright squishiness spun from fiber from Amy. The name was suggested by my husband, supposedly the name of a Henry Rollins song (I'm more a fan of his spoken word than his music).

Ah...where do the photos go when Blogger says they've loaded to your page, but you come back and they're nowhere to be found. I will be back to blog again!

Oh, and my yarns at Purple Pink and Orange are on sale 10% off! And so are the yarns in my Etsy shop!
