Sew What? Say What?

Some people collect sewing machines, some people fix sewing machines. Some people collect sewing machines so they can fix sewing machines.

The Finished Yarn

I was telling a yarn about dying Romney with Kool Aid. Well, this is what happens when you do that, then spin it on one of Nate's fabulous spindles. I'm fortunate that I have two of them, one you can see bare nekkid in the second photo there, the other is wrapped with the KA Finished Wool experiment. If you hazard a guess as to the flavors I used, put that in the comments, otherwise, just enjoy the colors, as well as the colors of the wood on the spindles.

Nate is a remarkable wood artist, and has begun to shift from doing large sculptures and architectural elements to making things that support my and his loved one's spinning and fiber working interests. I have a few of his crochet hooks and now, spindles. I love them, they are so well balanced and lovely to look at.

Lucky me!

I think these colours are absolutely fabulous. Nice work! I haven't done any dyeing yet, but it could happen this Winter.
Hugs, Squirrel
