I’ve been feeling like a mad scientist lately.  I certainly have the hairdo to pull off the look.  Complete with a few new stark white strands peeking out on top.  Yikes!  When did that happen?

I recently ordered a whole bunch of wool to spin up.  Like 2 1/2 pounds!  It was supposed to last me through the Tour de Fleece (a spinning thing coinciding with the Tour de France), but I don’t think it will make it.  I am having way too much fun dyeing it and spinning it up.  Have a look see, will ya?

I take this nice white wool roving:

Throw it in a pot with my ingredients:

Spin it up and end up with this:

04-15-09 073

This:

Became this:

I love the color of this one:

It is hanging up in the shower, drying at the moment. But, if you want to see more, here you go:

So, what do we think? Decent? Decent enough to sell? I hope so because something needs to fund this addiction. I am taking them to my LYS tomorrow to see if she is interested in carrying them. It’s a 50/50 prospect…she has a tiny space that is already bursting at the seams with awesome yarns. But none from Juneau. That could be my niche. If she doesn’t want them, then into the poor, forgotten etsy shop they will go.

Oh, by the way. If your name starts with a “P” and ends in an “e” and you live in the UK and you like any of these, please let me know. Because I owe you : )

Peace.
