Kool-aid - more than just a fun drink....



I've been dyeing some superwash merino rovings with Kool-aid and having a great time!! The colors are bright, it's easy and the kids like helping...

Spinning, spinning....



I've got a new addiction, er hobby....spinning with my Kromski Prelude spinning wheel. I spun this blue-faced leicester wool into a double ply skein last week. Now I'm trying to decide whether to dye it, or knit it into something as it is....it's so soft, I feel like knitting it into a stuffed animal....
I spun some wool rovings from the Sheep Shed Studio, plyed 2 singles together and knitted this hat for my daughter. She loves it!
