Spinning Seas all finished!

This yarn feels like I took all the colors of sunset, from the lightest palest pinks and lavender, to the deep deep almost black purple and then swirled them together capturing their essence in the ply sportweight. I even got the illusive green flash, seen over warm oceans though you have to look closely to spot it.

I love the look, and it's soft, and warm too, just waiting to be made into a beautiful purse, or scarf, maybe even a sweater as I have enough roving left for probably another 2 skeins.. This one is 280 yards.

To Loom or Not to Loom..

Tomorrow I go to look at a loom. Is there a market for woven garments? I'm not sure. Do I really need it? Probably not in the way I NEED a drum carder... But would it be a good purchase? We'll see.

But the price is good, so we'll see whether I bond to it when I look at it..

Tomorrow, I'll have pictures posted of the Sunset Seas yarn, and some gorgeous oatmeal colored shetland I just finished this week. I just need more hours in the day!
