ThePaintedTiger | April 23, 2008

I got in a new brand of dyes this week, so I don’t have bunches to show you, but I hope you’ll enjoy them none-the-less!! This is April Showers, which is a thick and thin art yarn I hand spun from roving I dyed in a gentle blue grey with bits of pink and purple.  [...]

A Slice of Heaven and Earth

Hopefully they will be in the mail and in her shop very soon!  They are shipping tomorrow.  Don’t ask me to make one for you, they are exclusive to Yarny-Goodness.  Pester her about them! The yarn [...]

My Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Showers lace yarn sold out within 5 minutes on Etsy last week, so I made 2 more.  One will go up later today on Etsy, the second to follow when the first sells. After doing clouds, I needed some rainbows, so here is a full study of the [...]

It’s roasting in here!

ThePaintedTiger | April 9, 2008

Here’s this week’s yarn a cooking away in my new roaster oven.  This is a new thing for me, since I’ve been zapping my yarn in the microwave.  The story of why I’d like to get away from that deserves it’s own post, which I will get to someday! So far, I’m liking it.  Lots [...]
