I have gotten behind in posting to my blog. This blog is a place where I wanted to record my path through the fiber world. But my other life sort of got into the way. I have been spinning a lot. Trying to spend at least 2 hours a day at the wheel. My shetland wool has been my choice to spin. Having 16 sheep means I have a lot of shetland wool. It seems to be multiplying. The more I spin, the more I seem to have. It is nice though to walk out to my storage area and have a choice of what I would like to work with.
My dye pots have also been busy. I have worked on dying up some superwash merino, Falkland wool and some Blue Face Leicester yarn. First time I have worked with the Falkland and BFL. Those yarns took the dyes nicely and will knit up into some great socks, hats or scarves. I have also been dying the shetland yarn as I finish them. With dying the shetland I have been playing with different ways to dye the finished yarn up. I really like dying the yarn, then the roving. The shetland I am working on getting some nice over dyed yarns. I am pleased with the process.
The yarns I am posting on my etsy shop, http://lilbitofheavenfibers.etsy.com.

Now back to the wheel, and I will try to post more often.
