I have been painting new rovings all weekend, and I have also received a new bulk of raw Wensleydale fleeces that will require a good wash indeed! The locks are absolutely gorgeous but it's a lot of work to get them properly scoured so they will be suitable for dyeing projects. I am very happy with this new lot!! Those fleeces are really good quality!

I have also just now displayed my latest yarn design in my Etsy store at www.alltheprettyfibers.etsy.com , which I have spun from my favourite and yummy handpainted Bluefaced Leicester wool - I have called it "Winter Berries" because the colourway includes perfect 4th season shades! Have a look:

There is a very light touch of mint green in it as well, which matches the complete scheme!! It stands for some of the winter herbs you can find out in the gardens and fields before they are harvested.

Before I go I would like to let everyone know that my natural oatmeal and natural brown Bluefaced Leicester wool rovings are still available, but they are not displayed in my ebay store anymore. If you are interested in ordering some of these 2 gorgeous shades please contact me directly through my website at www.needleworks-pleasure.com . I always have a larger amount in stock for my handspun yarns :o) The current price is £1.85/50g roving.

Everyone have a very good week!!!!!!
