lollipops



i'm not teaching this winter so my days are free to devote to dyeing and spinning and knitting. i'm thoroughly enjoying this freedom.
i'm dyeing up bright and cheerful colours. i'm mixing in plant fibres like bamboo and soysilk and milk fibre and spinning thinner than usual to make yarns that will be more spring-like to knit and wear. "lollipop" will be going into my etsy shop today.

I love how well you capture the colors in your yarns. PS Yesterday you and I were spinning together...sort of...I was spinning while wearing your shawl and suddenly, I was drawn to the bobbin...only to discover some of the handspun in your shawl had joined forces with my own yarn. It made me smile.
