    Love Porpoise Fur's beautiful Shetland roving called Golden Mean.4 ounces of lovely lavender, golden brown and pale yellow. It would be a dream to spin and very soft and light once you are finished.
    I shared Porpoise Fur on Facebook.

    I love the idea of the two-color shawl SAL. I'm a sucker for putting two interesting colorways together and making them work...

    Love the blogposts. I just learned to spin and now need to learn to ply. Quantum dots is beautiful, but I probably would have practiced a 2-ply if I spin it, but the blog post reminded me to think about the color wheel before plying to get the best effects

    I love that Rachel has so many types of fiber! From baby alpaca to silk hankies to Wensleydale. I recently ordered some Corriedale in the Spice Market colorway for the Two Color SAl/KAL. I LOVE the Holly Walk colorway and have been eyeing Euglena and Parrot. As I biologist, I also love that many of Rachel's colors are inspired by biological dyes.
