Hooray, I finally got some new yarns up in the shop.  There are 5 new colors of Isobel and 4 new colors of Spanky.  I have 5 or so new colors of Samira, but it likes to take its time drying,  so it’s on vacation in my tropical fiber room (space heater = a dry [...]

I finally updated the shop with 11 new colorways over 4 different yarns.  I had a big, purple bug up my butt apparently since almost all of them either are purple or contain purple.  It is my favorite color, but really, you’d think my muse could branch out a bit.
Here’s a dirty fiber room photo [...]

My home state, Georgia, has been flooded.  The county I grew up in was one of the hardest hit.  In that county my best friend has lived as long as I’ve known her.  Her house wasn’t considered to be on a flood plain, so she has no flood insurance.  Almost everything of value she owned [...]

I just placed an order with one of my mills and in that order I included quite a bit of 4 new yarns I’m going to try out in the shop.  This is high end luxury stuff here, folks.  Well, mostly, I am going to start carrying an 8/2 weaving cotton, that’s not luxury, but [...]

Or is that wicked?  I always get them confused.
Samira is up in the shop, as is new fiber.  Great stuff, nice crimp, good staple length and superwash so whatever you spin can be tossed in the washing machine.  I’m going to be dyeing up more Isobel this week, it’s just so wonderful to work with.
I’ve [...]

Samira!  Ok, so it’s not back just yet, but it’s soaking and will be getting dyed later today.  I’m simply waiting on some new safety equipment to come in.  I’ve been working with fiber reactive dyes quite a bit lately and am no longer comfortable working with them as I do the acid dyes.  So [...]

Samira, that is.  I just got in a fresh shipment of Samira.  Soon I’ll have this luscious, slippery, lovely, silky gorgeous yarn back in stock and in a wide arrange of colorways.  I also got a little more Spanky in.  I realized too late I should’ve ordered more.  Oh well, I’ll get some in my [...]

I don’t particularly care for the title of this post, but it just seems so fitting, becauase I am announcing a shop update (albeit late) as well as a few other things I have cooking.
First thing – The shop has been updated (actually a few days ago).  I have two new yarns in now.  Orio [...]

I have some amazing yarn.  And when I say amazing, I’m talking roll around in it naked amazing.  This cashmere blend sock yarn is luxurious and gorgeous and astounding.  It felt lovely on the cone, it felt even better wound into one pound skeins for dyeing.  Seriously, you guys almost missed out.  I was ready [...]

I was overwhelmed by the great response I got to the contest.  You guys rock!
Congratulations to the winners who have been picked using  a random number generator.
First prize goes Sarah!  She gets to pick out any skein of yarn in the shop and since I’ve just added 4 new colorways there’s some variety there.
Second prize [...]
