I am moving at fast pace right now, I really can't seem to slow down, I am so into handpainting my wool fibers - it must be the spring season indeed, I am full of energy and the weather has been gorgeous over the past few days (well, it's raining right now but it was really sunny and warm earlier :o) ), birds are chirping everywhere, little lambs bouncing around in the fields, and for the first time this year I was able to leave my garden door wide open without freezing to death!! Oh I love Spring!!

So, I am trying to work ahead so I can give myself some time off over Easter. If the weather stays sunny and dry (PLEEEEAAASE), I will go on a nice long  bank holiday walk along Hadrian's Wall, Sam's coming too of course.

These are the rovings I had mordanted last week and then gave them a real good dip into some great great colours - have a look:

Apart from the last roving in the bottom right corner they are all extrasoft Merino wool rovings and displayed in My Ebay Store, and the sixth roving, which is an extrasoft British Bluefaced Leicester handpainted roving, is displayed in My Etsy Store!

The fibers I am selling as handpainted rovings are exactly the same fibers I use for my handspun OOAK yarns, same dyes, same dyeing technique, and yes, these combed tops make the best close to the skin cosy yarns and felt ever!! Well, gotta go, more rovings to paint and more fibers to be spun :o) I hope you have enjoyed the pics!
