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.
such wooly goodness, in patterns and textures I can rarely find here, where it never gets quite so cold. I can't wait to work with this wool and see what it can become. Thanks T

Yesterday my mother, who taught me to knit when I was 7, bequeathed me the last of her wool collection.
ODT Pastime - Knitting, of course, and aiming to get this up to 4000 views!!
This yarn is part of a series of new experiments I'm performing with color in spinning. This yarn was spun from merino roving that was handpainted in a series of colors that never repeat. I split the roving down the center and spun two nearly identical skeins - they both will self-stripe in the same color sequence, with no repeats. Perfect if you want to make a pair of something - like fingerless gloves/armwarmers or legwarmers - or if you want to make one large piece, like a scarf, you can knit/crochet in different ways to produce different color effects. You could alternate one row from each skein, or you could knit from one end of the first skein and then the opposite end of the second skein, for a mirror effect.
The colors in this yarn are (in the order they occur): pale blue, teal/green, yellow, peach, purple, pink, brown, and mustard/olive.
(I'm so lazy. I cut & pasted this from my etsy shop description. Which is why it sounds like I'm trying to sell it!)
Spun from scraps of my handdyed Spicery Shetland, Faded Merino, Ripe Olive Merino/mohair, and Churned Up Falklands.
Aran weight, 470 yards/10 oz.
This is group #1 of the effort to reduce my hand-dyed spinning fiber stash.
This was spun fast and loose while watching movies, including Twilight, which entertained me to no end.
I've been knitting up my stash of leftover or single skein wooly wools into 9" squares for a blanket for my living room couch.
I'm about half way through, and am getting near the end of my yarn. I have another square's worth of orange, 2 or 3 more brown squares, and 4 or 5 squares worth of natural yarn that I'll probably dye before using.
So far, this pile includes:
Peace Fleece
Barlett Yarn
Harrisville Highland
Zeilinger's
Sweet Grass Wool 2-ply (targhee)
Mystery tweed
Does anyone have any wooly wool leftovers that they wouldn't mind sharing? 25-35 grams makes a square, depending on weight. (Harrisville only took 25 grams, heaviest aran weight Z-wool was 35 grams).
