Happy Spring!
Even tho we hit record low temperatures last night and when I finally got out of bed it was a mere 4f above, I am feeling pretty springy.
I’ve been spinning lots of bright stuffs, freestyle, like.
(clicky to make it bigger)
Scout sent me some yarn from La Lana Wools that she acquired on her recent trip to Taos.
Very inspirational stuff! I’ve never believed in having pet yarn, until now. I’m pretty functional, to a fault. (Hence my deep love of the sock.) But, this yarn shattered some of my paradigms. I love it when something comes along and blows out my brain cells like that.. It is really a gift.
I wonder if the beautiful folx at La Lana would adopt me???
Happy Spring lovelies!
That’s so COOL! It definitely looks like pet yarn material.

What fun! I love your freestyle spinning.
I love the colors La Lana gets from natural dyes. It is very inspiring. I don’t think of them as doing adventurous spinning though. Could you show us the yarn Scout sent you?

That is like the HR Pufnstuf of pet yarn — very unique and, perhaps, a bit disturbing to some traditionalists!

I love it! The pink locks hanging out of the yarn kind of look like you got a bit of your hair into the yarn

It’s all so beautiful! Now you understand why I called you like 5 times from in there!

Gorgeous stuff lady
With stuff like that around it would be easy to forget it’s still freakin’ freezing here.

Just wanted to comment that I like your blog and your hand spun hand dyed yarn as well. I bought some yarn (chop wood, carry water) from you a few months back and I was able to finish my first PAIR of socks. Before I would get the stupid second sock snydrome. So thanks for the inspiration!!
