Here come 2 new handpainted lots of pure Shetland wool, oooohh how fluffy this stuff is! I am having great fun painting this fiber, it absorbs the dye just as well as my Bluefaced Leicester or the Merino.

 I won't have much time left for the next few weeks because I have received 12 large fleeces from last month's shearing, and they all need to be washed and sorted - sigh.... Though it is a lot of fun diving into raw wool, it's also a mega load of work getting all the fleeces into their buckets, soak them, rinse them, soak them, rinse them, soak them.... yep, lots of work! But the clean fleeces will be such a delight to paint and spin!!!!

Anyway, I need to make a liiiiiittle bit of room for those fleeces, so I have put out some of my Bluefaced Leicester premium fleece for sale in my Etsy store - and it's gone already. At first I didn't really want to let go of it, it is such a beautiful fleece, and I always have tons of ideas what to do with it - but I would need to live in a mansion with at least 25 large rooms ( hahahaha!!!!) for storage, if I wanted to keep all my fibers for future projects. Just not possible.

 Yesterday I started on a new lot of handspun Bluefaced Leicester single yarn to extend my range of knitting wool in my stores, and apart from my new VERY ELEGANT elfyarns this BFL will make fantastic close to the skin soft knitwear!! Let's see how many skeins I will be able to spin and paint within the next week with all those fleeces needing to go in the bucket!!

Everyone have a very good time and HAPPY FIBERCRAFTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
