This is my second handpainted and handspun elfyarn made from my special blend of super fine Merino wool and pure Mulberry silk and heavenly soft!! I am having such a great time creating these special yarns that I will be spinning more of them in different colourways. They will come as fingering weight and sport weight yarns. Here is my "Rivendell" which I displayed in my Etsy store a couple of days ago:
I have also handpainted another bulk of extra soft Merino wool rovings, some Bluefaced Leicester tops (for myself...greedy,greedy...to spin into yarns) and also some Shetland rovings, which I have added to my shop selection of handpainted wool tops. I will be experimenting with other white wool fibers as well this summer - can never have enough colourful tops in the house, I'd say :o) Here are two of the new lot of extra soft Merino rovings, also displayed in my Etsy store:
I know, there's a good deal of lilac going on in these combed tops. That's because I am really sad that my lilac trees outside have stopped blooming. I absolutely love lilac and its scent...sooooo gorgeoussssss..... guess I will have to wait a full year now for the blossoms to return, sniff.
