first time dying!

Polypay yarn that I dyed up at my class yesterday. This was spun up by a friend as I wasn't sure if Nate would have time. All yarn here is dyed by me and is Polypay.
This was an experiment and only had 10 minutes left to dye. I mixed up the dye but, it should have had more. I may re-dye it when I buy dyes as I wanted it BOLD colors. It is still pretty tho. I is also not dry fully yet and is why its still on the clothesline. Yes its inside as WI is showing its true cold rainy colors.
TEAL, awww my favorite color along with turquoise. Still drying in 1 spot.
All dry and LOVE how the colors are super dark and then light. This was my FIRST one and LOVE it!!!

this is my second. I used the water of the blue one as it still had some dye left and mixed up another batch and added red and well this is what I got!! I LOVE this one also. The blue is a bit darker then what it is pictured but, still looks great.
Polypay!

here is a picture of what is left drying. 3 rovings and 1 yarn. Will take more pictures once it is fully dried.
So whatcha all think?? I WILL be buying dyes and doing this more often!! I have white Llama that is calling my name and also will be taking a class in the summer from the same lady. So I'm excited about this!! So this was a lot of fun.

I'm spinning!!

This is my FIRST full bobbin and its brown sheep wool. Very nice to spin. I have very little over spin in this and proud of it. THEN I got a wild hair and decided to try spinning Merino, a fiber my hubby has trouble spinning on the wheel we have right now and cusses it out. Well, needless to say I CAN spin it!! LMAO~~ He has been harrased about this already and I think its funny. Now when we get our new wheel which, I will post about it once it arrives and more exciting new on it. I'm sure he will be able to spin Merino once he gets that wheel, if not then I guess I get to spin it all:-) Anyhow this is merino and its color is called beach glass. Its from one of my favorite Etsy shops Copperpot. LOVE their stuff and have 2 more merino's to spin up and 1 other kind of fiber of theirs to spin.

I have been so busy knitting for Christmas gifts that I haven't had time to spin more but, do plan to very soon!!!

Feeling the Llama Love:-)

I went to Shady Ridge Farms in New Richmond,WI and got some of their Lovely Llama fiber!! It was a rainy day but, I still braved it with my friend Jen and her friend April. It was a lot of fun. We met up with Lori there also and saw another guild member. So anyhow I got 3 bags of llama and I'm in love with this!! I plan to mix some of it with another fiber. Now to plan out what I'm going to knit with it once I spin it up! Yep I'm spinning now also. Look for more exciting news about a spinning wheel soon!!! Oh and on Sat. I'm taking a dying class so I'm very excited about this and will be buying dyes from a WI local farmer and friend. Will post her info as soon as I figure out how to add links!!
