The store currently consists of a spinner rack in my guest room, partially filled with fiber and yarn.  My #1 goal for the business right now is to finish dyeing all the fiber I have in my possession to fill the rack (and then some) before Stitches West, so I can have it in a shared booth there.

First we have the whole rack…

Here’s some superwash merino in Peacock, Mulberry, and Ocean

As you spin the rack around, you can see more superwash merino in Harvest, Ambrosia, and Peacock again.

Here is the Mulberry and Ocean again, with new colorway Flame on the right.

Here’s the Flame again with Sea Foam and Harvest (still superwash merino).

Here are two of the new superwash merino colorways: Meadow and Willow.

Here’s the merino/tencel blend in Fire & Ice (what I’m knitting my sock out of) and October.

Last but not least (for the fiber) is the tussah silk in sea mist and flame.

And here we have the limited selection of yarn, which will be augmented after I finish dyeing all the fiber (I won’t be selling yarn at Stitches). The colorways are: Sea Foam, Ambrosia, Fall Harvest (behind Ambrosia), and Harvest.

Now that it’s dry, I can also show close-up pics of this superwash merino in Midnight Sky.

And tussah silk in Midnight Sky. The gray really turned out silver in the silk. I think this might be my favorite colorway yet…

I did spin up some of the Willow superwash merino into a bulky weight yarn for a sample.

And then I knit it into a swatch…

I also got a bit more knitting done on my sock out of handspun Fiber Fiend Merino/Tencel in the Fire & Ice colorway.

    The silk has me drooling! I was thinking I should buy the flame and then I saw the midnight sky! Man, they are both absolutely stunning!

    You are so talented — those colors are gorgeous. Stitches is going to be great — I’m going to seriously beef up my fiber stash!
