Squee!
Dearest Secret Pal,
Shame on you! How dare you call your package to me meager? Meager?? Last night, I came home to find your package waiting. As I opened it, I found Fleece Artist sock yarn! Fleece Artist is so far from meager! I've drooled over it online for awhile, but have never laid my hands upon it until now. I'm fully convinced it's amoung the Holy Trinity of Sock Yarns (the other two being Koigu and Cherry Tree Hill Supersock) And Crystal Palace DPNs! I feel so spolied!!!
THANK YOU!
Speaking of sock yarn, I'm in the process of spinnig my own right now. I've dyed the roving (60's wool-unknown breed, but soft enough) with Wiltons and AmeriColor icing colors. I'm taking step-by-step pictures of the process - roving to socks. Here's the first steps:
First, I start with plain wool.
Then I 'paint' the fiber.
Time to steam it...
Next, the rovings get to dry over my shower bar. These are going to be the colors for my socks.
Once they are dry, I get to start spinning... which leads up to my final picture for now.
