This is Richards first attempt at Kool Aid dyeing!!!  You just have to love a man that will take a skein of yarn that you have spun and soak it in Kool Aid.......and then fret because it didnt turn out how he wanted it to.  I think it is just lovely!!!........Richard hauled this fleece a mile (along with 4 others) back to the car at MD wool and sheep, he washed it, picked it and made it into rovings for me.......I spun it and then he dyed it.  I love that our yarn has passed through our hands so many times.  And somday someone will knit this yarn and feel all those good vibes we put in it.......




This is some Shetland that basically follows the same procedure as the yarn above.  This fleece is just incredible and Richard decided that I should spin it by itself and let it be the natural heather grey color that it is.  I think he was right, it has made a lovely yarn and spun up like a dream.  It practically drafts itself.  I think I will spin all of this fleece much like this skein.  Wouldnt it make an incredible heavy weight sweater.  Geezzzz........I just love this fiber business!!!!!
