I visited my favorite yarn shop today. I'm always inspired by the colors and textures. Many of the yarns are hand dyed by the proprietress.

She just made it for me for no reason. :) There's a sad, sad story behind this wool. I used to be able to get this Finn top that was just fantastic. Sarah and I were fools for it. The sheep only made that fabulous wool for one year, and then they went back to being more Finn-like (coarse). We are still sad.

Jared made me do it.
