Stained fingers and the smell of hot wool wafting up my nostrils...

You have just got to love the smell of heat setting wool x 100. That delicate smell of hot sheep mixed with dyes and acid. Oh yum!

Phew! My 100 skein coop is wrapping up. I did the entire thing in 1 week. I started on Saturday November 24th and will be done tomorrow Saturday December 1st. I've never dyed so much yarn in such a short time in my life. It has been exhausting and exhilarating at the same time. Why so fast you may ask? It's almost Christmas...and my birthday and parties...etc. I simply won't have time after tomorrow.

I'll be closing shop from mid-December until mid-January so that I may do all the above and take a much need family vacation. My children resume school January 8th and I'll be creating some instock for when I reopen.

Pictures of the mountain of yarn are coming. I just need to label all the skeins and I'll get them all pretty and snap some shots of them. I have to say it's quite glorious to look at. I may just have to keep them here to sleep on. Rolling around in dyed wool can get addictive.

Here is some eye candy for you in the meantime. These are some custom orders I did in the last couple of months.




This is a new colorway created for a YOTM club. She sent me pictures of this outfit and wanted a colorway to match. I called it "Crisp Autumn Morning"
