I go for it.
Snaffled a few hours on Saturday when no-one was around.
So I got some fibre out and dyed it all. This is a deceiving shot as there is a total of 800gms here all looking nice and neat and tidy. But there was an awful lot of it blowing around when it was drying.
First up is 200gms of EGMTK’s blend of BFL/bamboo/viscose that Miss Mandie let me get (un-dyed) .I decided to dye in a few deep dark colours and called it Winter Wonderland.
Beautiful and rich and deep dark purples/reds/blues/greens/yellows/ and lots of other colours.

Want to spin it asap ……….
But I have 300 grams of beloved Margaret Peel Superfine merino that I have been hoarding for years.

It wanted to be deep dark reds/blacks/with flashes of yellow to break up the colour a little. There is enough there for a whole garment I hope
.
I have had trouble getting my face out of it as it is SO soft….
but then I do have….300grams of EGMTK merino silk blend that begged to be all sorts of greens.
I called it Pickled Cucumbers.
So now – my wheel runneth over. Too much choice.















Devine!!!! O they all turned out so lovely. The imagination builds on fibers like that. The web of creativeness takes over. Great job.
So. Gorgeous. Happy spinning …
They all look wonderful, it will be good to see them when spun. I wish I had some sort of ‘how to put colours together’ like that. I know what you mean about having your face in them, it is so nice rubbing soft yarn over your face. I have taught my grand-daughter to put the yarn on her cheeks and feel the softness she even tries to smell it.
You can add me to the list of people waiting to see how these turn out. Like Rose Red I’m having trouble picturing them, but looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Have fun with it all!
I am waiting to see the magic you have wrought in your next post after these are spun!!!
OMG-it’s beautiful, all of it!!! I especially love your winter wonderland! I wish I could join you, or help you spin it. Do you need help with it?
I am looking forward to seeing how these spin up lovey, because I have no idea what they will look like!!
