fiber friday: spincerely mine

After I bought the periwinkle, I kept eyeing this fiber and finally I bought it!

It’s the colorway ‘Ariadne’.

It’s so much like the Periwinkle in it’s soft, subtle color and it just makes me smile. It’s should be great fun to spin.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy some fiber fun today! :)

fiber friday: confetti

Another goodie from Cabin Cove Mercantile! :)

It’s the Confetti colorway – 4 ounces of very soft Merino.

I’ve always wanted to spin a fiber that was dotted with color and still had the natural color of the wool.

I think this’ll be fun to spin.

fiber friday: kaleidescope

I always said that if Dave ever offered his hand painted fibers again, that would be one of the first thing I bought.

Cabin Cove Mercantile recently reopened for business and I filled up my cart with goodies!!

This is 4 ounces of 100% squishy merino in the Kaleidescope colorway. (I can’t resist a rainbow. ;-) )

The last fiber I bought a few years ago from the Mercantile is still in my stash. It’s that ‘beloved’ stash that sits there ’cause you don’t wanna to mess it up. Well, I’m a much better spinner now and make more yarn that I like than not.

I can’t wait to spin it all! :)

fiber friday: thriller

I’ve had some more fiber follow me home lately so fiber friday is back for a bit. :)

This fiber is from the October 2010 install of The Painted Tiger fiber club, in the colorway ‘Thriller’ – inspired by Michael Jackson’s Thriller!

I am a huge Michael Jackson fan so it feels this colorway was made just for me. I can’t wait to spin it! :D

Poinsettia

I have cancelled most of the fiber clubs I’ve participated in, but I’ve re-upped with the Black Bunny Fibers fiber club. It’s not every month and you don’t have to pay a bunch of money up front. There’s also another reason:

My camera can’t convey the depth and variances of the color, but it’s amazing. The colorway is Poinsettia and the fiber is 4 ounces of Cormo roving.

I’m going to wait a bit to spin this. It’s so gorgeous as is.
