Warm and Woolly for the Holidays!

This fibre blog business is slow, mainly because all my other fibre pursuits are keeping me busy.

However, I got out the pots, and the inventory from the closet, and did a bit of experimenting yesterday.  Now, if you followed me here from Twitter or Ravelry, here's the buy off the blog deal.  I've not divided, wrapped, or done the proper glamour-shots and retouching yet, but if you save me the trouble of making things pretty on Etsy, you save a bit.

If you like any of the below (shots are in pairs, one with flash, one late-afternoon winter light), send me a note at LoftyFibres AT gmail DOT youknowtherest... and tell me what you'd like.  The deal is $20 Canadian per 4oz braid, + $5 shipping (any amount).  I will send you a PayPal invoice, so please use a valid email.  Local pickup can save the shipping.  Usual pricing would be $20-$25 in US funds on Etsy.

Please note:  The fibre pictured is in 8 ounce/225 gram braids, approximately.  They are usually divided into 4 oz braids, let me know if you want all of one braid (2 x 4 oz = $40 Cdn).

By the way, my BFL is a superwash-treated fibre.

Here's the last couple.   70% SW Merino, 30% Mulberry silk, Winter Seas.  Update:  Apologies, Winter Seas found a new home about 10 minutes after posting!

Finally, these last 4 shots are the same bump of Merino-Silk.  It's a really speckled, random dye so I took two different sides of it.  Icy Splash, natural light:
