*Beesybee fibers milk giveaway! Visit Beesybee fibers, find something you like, write about it on this blog to be entered to win ( we count facebooking, tweeting, ravelating, blogging and plurking as extra entries!)

*See a handspun hand-knit milk shawl (live action with drape)

*Explanation about how I ply a single on to itself using center pull ball
using northstaralpacas swirl roving

* Why I'm sitting in front of a wood pile- if "Every man looks at his woodpile with a sort of affection" (Thoreau) Then, they should also look at their handspun pile with the same affection, right?

  37. S t o r m y M o n d a y - 4.1 oz - Wensleydale is a perfect name for this colorway. It reminds me of stormy day at the beach.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Oh, forgot to mention that I posted about the giveaway on facebook, too :)

    ReplyDelete
  39. I love the names. Parrot is a great name for that particular colourway. But I think it's the hand-dyed Teeswateer that steals the show.

  44. That HuncaMunca is awesome. I'm a new spinner, and I'd love to try something other than the wool that I've got. Plus? It's dyed in <a href="http://www.cscc.edu</a>my school colors</a>, which is a HUGE achievement when you're living in Columbus and not going to OSU!

  45. Im in love with
    B e t a - 4.3 oz - Corridale Wool Top
    and H o t - 3.6 oz - Superfine Merino Combed Top 19 micron, with Hot being my favourite, the colour combo that you did for it is perfect and you very rarely find people adding a splash of pink to these colourways!!

    Mermaid's Song is exceptionally beautiful, but I wouldn't have any problem at all filling a huge shopping cart in this store. Have you looked at the Rain Song sock yarn for instance? If not, hop over and do!
