This is the roving that I've been dyeing. The temptation to sit and spin this up has been tremendous!
Here's some of the yarn, all fingering weight. There's 100% merino, merino/silk blend, and superwash/nylon blend. Each yarn takes the dye differently, so there has totally been a learning curve involved.
I took these photos this evening, whilst fending off five cats. That was a trick, let me tell you. Here's Jack trying to weasel his way onto all that lovely wool.
I can't allow kitty contamination, so I quickly bagged it all up again. Not such great photos, but you get the general idea.
You've been busy! {BIG SMILE} I love the colors. {BIG SMILE}
ReplyDeleteIt looks so soft, I'm not surprised the kitties love it. It looks like a great sleeping spot, complete with kitty toys for when they're in a playful mood. {half-smile}
All our yarn is in cabinets, chests, boxes, bag, and the like. Its been like that for ages. Even so, we've had to rescue a few skeins from Valentine. {lop-sided smile}

Looks edible! Beautiful. Bringing it to knitting?

Ok, I'll bring it to knitting.
ReplyDeleteYour yarn stash sounds like mine, Anne. :)
Photos don't do them justice! Gorgeous!

No matter how much I try to work my way thru my yarn stash, I keep getting more yarn more quickly than I use what I have up. {rueful smile}

I can sooooo totally relate, Anne. I could devote an entire room to my yarn stash. As it is, it's poked here and there throughout my house.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds almost right for us. The only difference is that I can't call it "my" stash when it's really ours. Dad was into weaving for a while, Mom's been into crochet and kumihimo (Japanese braiding) enough, and I've been into weaving, plaiting and kumihimo, which means we've all contributed to it.
ReplyDeleteThen there's the stuff we inherited from my grandmothers. Mom's mother was into knitting, while Dad's preferred crochet.... {SMILE}
