Triple Treat

Dyed_polwarth_silk_angora The yarns I dyed yesterday.  The fiber: equal amounts of polwarth, silk, and angora, spun for me.  I used three colors for each colorway.   I had so much fun dyeing, I followed up today with immersion dyeing half a pound of merino top, 4 different solid colors, to blend with angora.  I might get some carded up in time for my booth this weekend, but probably not all of it.  And  I might try my hand at some multicolor batts.  And this is when I realize why I do this.  The end result is as satisfying as the process.  But isn't it curious that I have no desire to knit these yarns.  Which is good because they will all be in my booth this weekend.

Nice! Enabling again, huh?

They are gorgeous! I'm sure they are going to sell really well.

I think sometimes when you spend all the time preparing and dyeing and skeining and labeling, you are ready for them to go off and work with someone else. I sorta wind up feeling that way about my stuff anyway.....

Wishing I was going to NH this weekend...

Beautiful! They won't last long!

Gorgeous - lots of temptation in there. I know what your new name will be this weekend :-)

I'm so jealous that I won't be there this weekend. Have a great time and hope the weather is good.

Hope you're having an awesome show! The colors are fabulous.
