Yarn Every Couple of Days or So Challenge.

Little sample balls of Hello Yarn Sock. I didn't spend half the afternoon winding them to let them go without a photo!

My poppies yarn spun from SSB from Loop.

140 yards.

I spun some more yarn... this time with small shells!

First I dyed some white roving into beachy colors using commercial food coloring I bought at Smart and Final.

Then I spun up the yarn starting with with the sand colors and progressed to the sea and sky so when it is knit or crocheted, it should make somewhat of a landscape.

I plied the yarn with holographic metallic thread that I had strung with small shells I got in Hawaii recently. (That took a LONG time!)

I'm really happy with the results! the stats: 80 yards, 3.5 oz.

Makes me want to go back to Hawaii though!

6 Loop babycakes.. 3 brown, 3 pink/white.

Spun each one, repeating brown, pink/white, brown etc.. so there will be color stripes, but the stripes will be slightly different, because each babycake was different.

This is fluffy and sparkley and a HUGE skien!!

I got a *super-lovely* Lion Brand catalog in my mailbox a few months back, and came across it happily in my desk travels, today. Sooo inspiring! It makes me wish for multi-colored stacks of yarn in my won craft room! :)

Patons Pompero Yarn.

Luna Park sock yarn

handspun yarns

Four ounces of a hand-dyed wool roving, spun up into a fingering-weight two ply. The roving came from my stash and I could not find a tag for it, so I have no idea who the dyer is. There is roughly 400 yards of this bright yarn that will make a lovely pair of socks.

My Etsy Shop, Sassenach Yarns, is open!

Here are the seven colorways I'm starting with (lucky seven?)--I was going to keep Fraser for myself, but then I figured, heck, I'll throw it up there and see what happens.

If worse comes to worse and the yarn doesn't sell, I suppose I shall have to unlist it all and add it to my obscene personal stash, but let's hope it doesn't come to that =D

Cascade Heritage Sock Yarn

In Askersund Sweden last week I came across a little store that sold flowers, crafts, and souvenirs (and had the Sweden Mexico football game on the radio). Outside the shop were these wonderful balls of yarn squeezed into a bin. What a wonderful photo opportunity. I bought no yarn, but did get a souvenir and listed to a bit of the game with the shop keeper.
