Finally, oh, finally I have finished and displayed my latest handpainted and handspun yarn beauties!!! It was about time too, but one of them, my "Lady In Waiting", was ever so labour intensive, you wouldn't believe it! It is made from the finest and softest Bluefaced Leicester lambswool blended with super smooth pure Tussah silk, and this blend did not spin as easily as the regular BFL wool with its wonderful long fibres. The lambswool fibres were a good deal shorter, and it took me 14 hours just to spin and ply that baby :o) But look at the result, isn't it just breathtaking?

What do you think? ;o) I have displayed this yarn in my Etsy store at www.alltheprettyfibers.etsy.com , so feel free to visit my shop for more yarn details.

I also finished this wonderfully soft and cosy BFL yarn design, called "Charybdis II":

the colourscheme is quite similar to my first "Charybdis" yarn design which you can view on my website www.needleworks-pleasure.com . And yep, lots and lots of aquamarine and turquoise going on in there :oD I just love to work with those shades!

And last but not least I have also added one new handpainted extra soft BFL wool roving for all the handspinners and felters out there. It is also displayed in my Etsy store:

The shades of the roving are wonderfully deep and warm, perfect for an autumn yarn or felt design!!

Right, let me go back to my spinning wheel and finish a veeeeery gorgeous and cosy Baby Alpaca yarn, soon to be displayed here on my blog! Be surprised!!

Everyone have a very good weekend and HAPPY FIBERCRAFTING!
