Staying Warm and Fuzzy in the Winter

Well, I've finally managed.  Look over there, on the right, the Etsy Mini....

Yep, I have some fibre up.  New to the Etsy store (as wholesale has been picking up all the fibre I could dye so far!) - handspinning fibre braids and a neat new twist - the Twisted Pairs.



Twisted Pairs are a full hank of sock yarn, combined with a half-braid of handspinning fibre, dyed in the exact same lot so they'll match.  Why?  Why not?  Thrummed mittens/socks.  Socks with a handspun & embellished cuff, or toe/heel/cuff.  A shawl with handspun trim or accessories.  And though the current stock is all superwash BFL, I'll consider a feltable fibre for embellisment in future lots, what do you think?

Part 2 of today's update is someone's mistake, and someone else's good fortune.  With my last shipment of stock, I ordered a few pounds of a wool/seacell blend which, unfortunately, does not seem to resemble such a blend, much.  So - it's on sale!  $16 (braids are regular $18-$25) .  It's definitely wool, superwash, and lovely and bouncy, combed top which drafts like a dream.  I just don't know EXACTLY what blend it is.  So - take a chance, make something new.
