I have tried for a whole week to finish more of my wonderful and cosy handspun Merino slub yarns but to no avail - I have managed to get skein no.5 off the spindle and that's that... no mordanting nor any painting done yet. What can I say, last week was incredibly busy: Loads of people contacted me about the handpainted Wensleydale locks and asked for different colours and quantities, others inquired after my handpainted supersoft wool/silk blend, and I didn't want to let them down. So I mordanted and dyed my special blend and more Wensleydale curls instead, not that I would mind, oh no, I absolutely love working with my special blend, and I am always very keen on experimenting with new shades coming out of the locks. But the slub yarn project had to be put on hold, oh well, I will simply finish it later. I will also start on two new custom orders of handspun Camel down/Silk fingering weight and sport weight knitting yarn, one lot in honey white and the other in butterscotch - YUMMYYYYY :o) I have also found some time to display my new Bluefaced Leicester handspun yarn design in my Etsy store called "Flying Kites":

 Frisky, huh? I think that this yarn would make some wonderful baby garment ,or a colourful hat or scarf! It is part of a range of yarns I painted with very similar shades in the same dye pattern. They are all displayed in my ebay store. Here is one of the painted yarns:

Gorgeous Gorgous shades!!!  And very much suiting the season, beginning of spring - YIPPIEHHHHH....
