🧶Handspun Virginia-grown natural white Romney wool blended with a touch of silk brick. Crisp but next-to-skin soft. I have been so happy with this fleece from Regal Point Romneys of Castlewood, VA! 🧶

Four skeins of hand-dyed curly boucle yarn in peacock shades of purple, green and blue. Skeins of hand-dyed boucle yarns in sunset shades of orange, pink, blue and green. It reminds me of the sunsets on the beach at Hatteras Island, NC.

🧶So much fluff! My favorite part of dyeing is after the wool has dried and the true colors shine through. 🧶

I'm just free-handing this hat and for some reason I'm really vibing with this color/stitch combo. Crocheted in black wool from my stash for the ribbing, and KnitPicks Wool of the Andes for the body.

With everything else I do, it's so ironic that I'm so bad at amigurumi. 😆

I hope my little niece likes her though. 🙏

It's WIP Wednesday so here's my current project: Fingerless mitts in Knitpicks' Stroll yarn in "Dove" and my own hand-painted "Patina" colorway.

What are you working on? 🧶🥰

Something from the dyepot! I've made a tentative foray into hand-painted yarns to see how well they do. This colorway, Patina, was done on a KnitPicks Stroll sock yarn base with Greener Shades acid dyes. 🧶

🧶I'm pretty happy with this! But trying to sew in a lining has forcibly reminded me how bad my needle-and-thread hand-stitching is. Ironic, eh? 🧶

So I went to a local fiber festival a little over a week ago and half a sheep's fleece followed me home.
