Jellyfish

Here is my latest, it goes live tomorrow. I used a different dyeing technique and really love how it turned out. Hopefully it will sell out immediately, :-)
What I'm really hoping is that I can turn buyers on to this yarn. There are certain "trends" in the very small world that I market to, and it can be hard to introduce something new. I LOVE this yarn, it is from a small farm right here in Virginia. It's not organic, but is humanely grown. It's so soft and durable, and unlike many other popular wools, doesn't require a lot of babying for its care. To the touch, it is very like a soft cottony chenille.
In fact, I bought the yarn right from the farm early this year.


This picture of Joey and sheep giving each other the eye, makes me laugh. Who knows, maybe "jellyfish" came from one of these guys right here.

That is beautiful :-) I like the colors in your last post too. Good thing I don't know any thing about knitting.... That is great you have a local supplier of wool.

That is gorgeous! Waaaaaahhhh I want to learn so badly! Did you know Michael bought me a sewing machine for Christmas and the first time I used it ... it jammed! :'-( I am so afraid I will break it.
