Adventures in Hand Dyed Yarn & Fiber by The Painted Tiger

What’s on the Wheel this Wednesday?

ThePaintedTiger | April 29, 2009

Ready for more drum carding photo blogging? This time I’ve taken some mill ends from my Brown Sheep box.  This is the same fiber that is spun into Lamb’s Pride.  85% wool, split between mostly red, and a bit black, and 15% white mohair.   Some of this pile has very long fibers, and other areas [...]

April Club Spoilers

ThePaintedTiger | April 23, 2009

It’s time to show off the two clubs (Transitions and Fiber Barista’s ‘PostCards from Home’) I shipped last Friday.  As usual, if you don’t wanna see the Fillets reknit, don’t click ‘more’!!! Both sample tubes were knit in stockinette with 64 stitches at about 7 stitches per inch. Both would run about knee highish on me.  YMMV [...]

Happy Earth Day!

ThePaintedTiger | April 22, 2009

What are you doing to conserve and help our Earth?  Although it seems tough to do the big things (like hybrid cars and solar panels), even little things help make a difference.  To honor Earth Day, I’d like to share with you some of the ways ThePaintedTiger has gone ‘green’. 1.  Packaging.  Yep, I gotta [...]

Tiger Find Tuesday

ThePaintedTiger | April 14, 2009

For today’s Tiger Find, I’d like to introduce Ruth.  She is a designer, and I just love her patterns!  (And yes, I’m a little biased….she is my friend.)  On Ravelry her designer name is ‘The Yarnarian’, and has 26 different patterns to choose from.   If I had to just pick two, these are my favorites: Diamond Modular [...]
