** NEEDLEWORK'S PLEASURE** SPINNING & FELTING FIBRES, HANDSPUN & HANDPAINTED YARNS

Hi everyone!

It's been quite a while since I had time to take care of my blogsite. Custom orders keep coming in and I hardly ever leave my workshop. There's just enough time to walk Sam (in stormy weather...how else....?), fix something to eat and keep pedalling again :o) But I have finished some really astonishing yarn designs, and I am really really proud of them!! This is my ultrasoft Merino/Silk hand dyed fingering weight yarn "ATLANTIS":

I put it into my Etsy shop, and when I went back in 2 hours later to display another item, the yarn had already found a new home. Oh it is such a beauty indeed, isn't  it?

And this is my second yarn design I want to show you: "SIEGFRIED AND THE DRAGON" - spun from my first choice Bluefaced Leicester extrasoft wool fiber. This wool spins sooooooooo easily, I will never get tired of spinning it! The colour combination instantly reminded me of the famous Germanic saga "Rheingold - The Ring Of The Nibelung" - Siegfried fighting and killing a giant dragon to bathe in its blood so he would become invincible... this is how I blended the colours I thought should go into the yarn:

it's a sport weight/dk yarn which will make a wonderful wrap or something similarly cuddly :o) I have displayed this one in my Etsy shop as well.
