I have been clearing my wool boards all afternoon, getting the dried and freshly painted yarns and fibres off and sorted, and new bulks of wet fleeces back on and into the sunshine, while we have it.... ;o) So here are the latest fibre babes, the first photo shows a custom order in a similar colourway as my "Solway Firth" fingering weight yarn, which is for sale in my ebay store. On the photo you can see the 3 new yarns on the left and the original 2 skeins on the right - I think I have done a really good job catching the same shades, considering that each dye lot is always a bit different, and I never record any dyelots...just no fun and hardly any challenge.... Well, I am very happy with the result. The yarns have found a new home with a very lovely lady from London :o)

 She needed 1200yds for her knitting project, and the two skeins from the store are only 800yds. As the hanks needed to be identical I custom dyed 3 new skeins for her. They came out juuuuuuuust right!

Two more photos I want to display before I hop back behind my spinning wheel (I am currently finishing a new handspun and handpainted elfyarn design....oooooohhhhhh, be surprised, the colours and the silk within the Merino blend are SO stunning!!!) anyway, here are my 2 latest lots of handpainted Wensleydale locks/curls, one in cinnamon-apricot and the second lot in aquamarine-opal, both now displayed in my ebay store:

 Like the colours? Me too ;o) Feel free to Visit My eBay Store for more yarn and fibre details!

    The new skeins look great and I cant wait to see how they knit up. :-) When the shawl is finished I'll send you a photo.
