Another Small Fiber Update!

I've updated the shop this morning with a couple fiber braids.  This is a new colorway to the fibertopia shop. 

I'd like to introduce to you, Seaside!  This is a gorgeous, muted colorway with shades of grey, yellow, and pink throughout.  This particular braid is 100% Corriedale, which is so, so soft.  This colorway was inspired by the soft, relaxing colors of the seaside.

Make sure to check out the other items I've posted in the shop!

Small update today

The small update for today has been complete.  Please visit the shop and view the new fiber colorway I've created.  This is the same colorway as this fingering skein.  I love muted colors on fiber.  Aren't they pretty?  This colorway, which was originally that skein of yarn, was inspired by the clouds that roll in during a summer storm.

Thank you for taking a peek at my shop!

I will have another small update on next Friday, June 28, at 12 noon.

Update! Finally!

Hi!  Long time, no see :)  I'm finally back to dyeing yarn and fiber.  I was in graduate school for the past two semesters, which severely limited my time to dye yarn and fiber.  I have missed it so much!

On my shop page, I had announced an update for tonight at 9 pm.  Since I had time earlier today to post the new yarns, the update has been complete.

I had originally planned for this update to be both my new 1-ply fingering weight and four braids of fiber.  The fiber is still drying, so it will be included in next week's update, on June 21.  The time is to be determined.

I hope you'll take a look at the new yarn line I put in the shop today.  Singles (or 1-ply) are so pretty to me!  This particular yarn is 100% superwash merino, which makes it even softer!

Thank you for your support.  I am excited to get back to dyeing yarn and fiber for the shop on a more regular basis!

Small Update Tonight

Let me just dust the ol' blog off....

Hi!  Long time, no see! 

Well, since I last posted, a lot has been doing on.  It's really just one major thing -- I've gone back to school.  I'm in a graduate literature program now, and it's been eating up my time.  Yarn and knitting and dyeing have taken a temporary back burner.  Last weekend, I found some time to dye up some new worsted colors and I'm listing them in the shop tonight.

Worsted is a weight that I gravitate towards in the colder months.  It's great for scarves, hats, and mittens.  If you fancy a thick pair of socks, you could whip up a pair pretty quickly with worsted!

Here are the new colorways:

 Dark Lavender

 Mushroom the Light

Mushroom the Dark

Shop 'til you drop!

p.s.  There are still some skeins listed in the sale section!

Get 'em while they're hot!

I've listed a few skeins of worsted in the shop tonight.

The first colorway is called Rosey Posey.  It is a light pink that has scattered flecks of hot pink throughout the skein.

The second colorway is called Periwinkle.  It is a purple-y blue.  I am very happy with the way this color came out of the pot.

Happy shopping!

I'm posting a small update to the Etsy shop tonight!

Merino and Corriedale Braids

Tonight, I've listed a few braids of spinning fibers in the shop.

One braid of corriedale and five of merino.  Corriedale is by far my favorite to dye, so you'll definitely be seeing more of that in the future!

Next Friday (March 2) at 9 pm, I'll have an update of one more braid of corriedale, two braids of falkland, and a few skeins of my 2-ply fingering yarn.

See you there!

The First Update

The first update was listed in the shop last night!  I hope you'll take a peek.

Sneak Peeks

Here are a few sneak peeks for the opening of my shop.  Please keep in mind that I haven't edited these at all.  There is only one picture that I don't feel is accurate, and that's Raisins.  It looks more brown than purple in person.

Also, I'm finding that red is so very hard to photograph.  I have two beautiful skeins of red yarn that I've named Vesuvius.  When I popped those bad boys out of the dyepot, I said 'volcano.  YES.. LAVAAA.'  But you can't name something ... just ... lava?  Or lavaaa, for that matter.  Vesuvius sounds a tad more sophisticated.

So, long story short, I tried a couple times to photograph them and they come out looking ... orange-y.  Instead of lava red.  I'll try again this weekend before I start googling 'how the heck do I photograph red yarn???'

Wooly Worsted -- Blue Lagoon

Wooly Sport -- Raisins

Wooly Sock -- Oh, Glorious Summer

Wooly Sock -- Dead Leaves on the Ground

Wooly Sock -- Deep Waters

Wooly Sock -- In the Middle of the Night

Wooly Sock -- Leaf Week

Wooly Sock -- Put a Lime in It

Like I said, I have two more skeins of red to try to photograph and one more skein of worsted that I'm going to overdye because it just didn't turn out the way I had hoped.

I'm hoping to have everything ready for a grand-ish opening on October 23!
