And can we have a colour too??

On one of the last sunny and breezy days I needed to dry an order - quickly - so I could get the yarn in the post that day.  So my friends came to have a look and were probably choosing their next colour.  Secretly the sheep were looking for hay (not required yet as there is lots of green grass). 

Today I'm making felt hat bands for my hat kits.  I will have knitted felted hat kits at the Stitches & Craft Show on the 9th May. 

Fleece Dyeing

This week was a busy fleece dyeing week. Above is a blue, donkey brown mix with pale silver and blue where the colours meet. SOLD

And then an earthy mix of brown and olive. The English Leicester is just a wonderful wool to put in the dyepot. The lustre enhances the colours. SOLD

Used burnt orange together with green and yellow here. SOLD

And I was delighted with this blend of blue, green. purple and the softer shades inbetween.

These are all for sale on the website listed at side of blog. The wool in these colour blends is English Leicester/Merino blend.

Our wonderful dog, Mopsy is going to spend the next couple of months with her breeder. Mopsy is due to give birth to puppies in two weeks. We will really miss her. Guess we will just have to give Darwin double the attention. I will post photo puppies when they are born.
