For the past 4 days I have been mordanting tons of undyed yarns to get them ready for my weekend painting session :o) 24 skeins have already made it into the dye pots, and another 15 skeins are to follow shortly... I have currently run out of pots. Most of the skeins are sport weight Bluefaced Leicester. Unfortunately this particular 2-ply yarn is no longer made because the yarn mill, that spun this yarn has closed down, and it was not good news! I have found a new yarn mill that makes 3-ply Bluefaced Leicester yarns - I am not sure if I want to go for 3-ply yet, they are not making any sport weight yarn at the moment :o(  . No matter! So far I have always been able to find the right yarns for my dye-projects. One mill closes down, another one opens up for business. That's how it goes in the world.

I am currently busy with a new custom order of navajo plied Merino yarn in black, grey and white colours. Yes, some of you might remember that I used to have a yarn design displayed in my Etsy store called "Snowy Rock". It went for auction a short while ago and found a new home in Australia. The lady who had purchased the skein was so excited about "Snowy Rock" and loved the pattern so much that she has asked me to make another 2 skeins for her. I must say, I also liked the black/grey/white blend yarn very much! Here it is again:

as it is a 3-ply (navajo) yarn it is also perfect for weaving projects! Well, have to go now, more yarn to be dyed, and today is a national holiday over here, so I don't need to rush to the post office either and can therefore take my time with the yarns.
