		<description><![CDATA[Here is what I am spinning. this is vintage stash. I am pretty sure that this yarn will stripe. Can&#8217;t wait to see how. It is merino tencel, dyed by Spincerely Yours. After spinning that cashmere silk blend, this fiber is easier and going much faster previous attempts at spinning this blend.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finally finished the cashmere/tussah silk handspun yarn! It was a challenge (not as easy as wool) but I made it work. (in progress photos can be found HERE) I am still considering using this in the stripe study shawl as the contrasting color. It took me a bit to find a way to spin this yarn that I wanted &#8211; which was more of a supported long draw than worsted. Here&#8217;s a very basic description of how I did<a class="more-link" href="http://www.saffronknits.net/?p=1518">[Read more]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tour de fleece is coming and I&#8217;m trying to get ready. It&#8217;s been nice to sit down and spin. I finally found a way to spin the cashmere/tussah silk that works for me. I had thought I&#8217;d never get it done&#8230; now I&#8217;m almost finished with the 2nd bobbin. Here&#8217;s some proof!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Buying new stuff for my stash is not currently in the budget so I am looking to my cherished stash to knit patterns that I&#8217;ve fallen in love with. One such pattern is the Stripe Study Shawl. If you have not seen this recently released pattern, it is an asymmetrical triangular shawl knit in garter stitch. I pondered a bit, trying to figure out what I wanted to use. I have some CCM Merino-Nylon that I could use, but the<a class="more-link" href="http://www.saffronknits.net/?p=1374">[Read more]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After I bought the periwinkle, I kept eyeing this fiber and finally I bought it! It&#8217;s the colorway &#8216;Ariadne&#8217;. It&#8217;s so much like the Periwinkle in it&#8217;s soft, subtle color and it just makes me smile. It&#8217;s should be great fun to spin. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy some fiber fun today!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently got some fiber from Spincerely Yours in the colorway &#8216;Periwinkle&#8217;. I was really drawn in by the subtle/soft blues and purples and had to buy it. It&#8217;s spins like a dream &#8211; so soft. I am pulling off pieces of the top, and drafting it out sideways then spinning in a supported long draw so the resulting singles have a bit of air in them. I hope this will make a nice squishy two-ply fingering weight yarn.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another goodie from Cabin Cove Mercantile! It&#8217;s the Confetti colorway &#8211; 4 ounces of very soft Merino. I&#8217;ve always wanted to spin a fiber that was dotted with color and still had the natural color of the wool. I think this&#8217;ll be fun to spin.]]></description>
