Black and Red Hat.


Here is a cotton hat I just finished. I think it needs some big beady flowery pin to dress it up but it is one of the softest hats I've ever made. It is out of Cascade's 100% cotton yarn (red) and some nice black cotton I was given (didn't have a label). Hope everyone likes it!!

Roving - I LOVE this stuff.

Image
I just couldn't help but but another picture up of this roving. I am tickled at how this turned out and I just cannot wait to spin it up!!!! The colors are lovely and I love the way they work together. NOW I just need to come up with a catchy name for the colorway. REALLY don't know what to call it. Nothing has just jumped out at me like Johnny Jump Ups or Mixed Berries. I have other ones in my head all name but this one just HAPPENED!!! That' s what happens when roving just jumps in the dyepot and wants to be a certain color (or three).

Grey Hat out of 100% Angora Rabbit

Image
This picture is kind of dark but it is of an 100% Angora rabbit hat crochet for a friend of mine. She asked if I could make this hat and sent me her rabbit hair, already spun. This is the finished product. She requested a "flapper" style hat so here it is Jeannie!!!It turned out pretty good considering I was pretty worried at a certain point because the brim kept curling. Once I added the weight pulled it down and the brim did what it was supposed to do. It is on it's way to Colorado as I write this.

MORE Alpaca Silk Yarn.

Image
This is a 3 ply nearly sportweight yarn with 2 ply of Black Alpaca (Phineas from Four Pines Alpaca) and 1 of pink/blue/purple silk from ExclusivelyLindaLee.Etsy.com. Thank you two ladies for contributing to my spinning enjoyment. It came out to about 170 yards of lovely yarn though this picture isn't showing it for what it REALLY is. For those of you who are local - it will be down at the Valencia County Fair from Wed to Sunday. REALLY enjoying spinning Alpaca - some of the nicest fiber I've spun and Silk is right up there with it so this is the stuff spinning dreams are made of . IT is for sale but I have not priced it yet. Feel free to email me if you are interested.
