A Honey Bee Kiwi 3

I has been a full two days full of spinning, blending batts and I have managed to finish decorating my Kiwi 3 Spinning Wheel. While I still have the bobbins to go, I am happy with how it has turned out.

I have been blending up a storm and there are some yummy batts now available in my shop and more to come. 

I have also managed to spin every day of my #lizgreenarts365 challenge! This is today's spin progress to celebrate using my wheel again.


Happy Crafting!

Dyeing for Lace

I was so very excited that some of the Yarns I have been dyeing this week are now dry and ready for sale in my shop. While there are still many batches left to dry from the week, my favorite one so far would have to be this Magic Splash. I love how the colours have come out and the subtle gradient effect in the yarn, perfect for a Lace shawl.

And I was excited to finish the fibre I've been spinning on my spindles, next step plying! 
Day 7

Happy Spinning! 
Thanks for your support!

Tour de Fleece Fibre Challenge Boxes

It has we an long afternoon playing with colours and fibres and putting them all together into some very exciting Fibre Challenge Boxes, perfect for those who are going to be participating in the Tour de Fleece 2019 in July and are yet to decide what they might be spinning.

Tour de Fleece Fibre Challenge Box - Rainbow, Single Scoop - 250g
These boxes are just amazing and the hard work of choosing the fibres and preparing them has been done, so they are ready to just spin! Each Tour de Fleece Fibre Challenge full of different fibres and coordinating colours, with 18 samples for each of the days, a Deluxe Fibre Batt and some Deluxe Rolags for the two challenge days, and an extra sample and yellow fibre to spin on the last day to announce Victory! There are a few different colours now available for sale in my shop.

I have also had a chance to do some spinning to complete Day 3 of my #lizgreenarts365 Challenge. Not long to go to finish off this first Corriedale sample!
