Today my last custom order (for now) has been mailed - 2 wonderful skeins of very soft and smooth handspun Merino DK yarn, that have found a new home in Canada. The request was for a similar design like my "Tiger Eye" yarn that sold a while ago:

Weighing a total of 180g and measuring a minimum of 389 yds, now that's plenty of yardage to knit or crochet with :o)

And because I can't seem to get enough of my cinnamon and brown shades these days I have painted some more Bluefaced Leicester rovings in very rich ...yes...cinnamon shades, one for the shop and two for myself! I am planning to spin one lot into a fine yarn and the other lot will be for a wet felted scarf...whenever I will find time to do it...

The lighter shade on the photo may look like a victorian rose pink, but it's really rather a very nice warm light cinnamon. I think it looks absolutely gorgeous!!! This lot is for sale in my Etsy store at www.alltheprettyfibers.etsy.com !

Let's hope that the weather will be nice and sunny over the Easter holidays. I so want to take a day off and go for a nice long walk with Sam along Hadrian's wall, or perhaps at Little Salkeld past the druids circle. I cannot drive too far (heaven knows I would looooove to drive further up into Scotland for a whole day!!), but the petrol prices are killing me and my wallet...sigh....it is ever so frustrating!

But hey, let's not be too discouraged by the rising costs of living!  Bad times will always come and go like the four seasons, it's not the first time we have seen them, is it? ;o)
