Sky

There are patches of blue in the sky today! And I have enough natural light to photograph this addition to my blue brew collection. It's the feltable wool I picked up for a bargain price recently--now hand-dyed and unfelted.

I'm still planning the blanket I mean to make with the various hand dyed sky blue skeins. Meanwhile I was able to pick up another ten balls of this yarn in white at the same price. I want to do some samples and a colour wheel with my Landscape dyes.

In other news, the brighter light is showing up the dust bunnies and cobwebs around the house very clearly, so a bit of cleaning is also on the priority list.

Good Thing?

You know I love a bargain! So when I saw this wool for only $2.50 per ball it immediately caught my attention.

I was looking for some yarn to dye to go with my blue brew, so feltable had me a little wary. I bought two balls to try it out. I'm happy to report that my test skeins are dyed and rinsed with no sign of felting. Now to check if that particular bargain is still available. I'll post a pic of the dyed yarns when they're dry--assuming the weather clears up anytime soon so I can take a picture without artificial light.
