A skein of handspun natural white Romney wool

🧶Handspun Virginia-grown natural white Romney wool blended with a touch of silk brick. Crisp but next-to-skin soft. I have been so happy with this fleece from Regal Point Romneys of Castlewood, VA! 🧶

🧶So much fluff! My favorite part of dyeing is after the wool has dried and the true colors shine through. 🧶

A crochet hat in progress, in black, pink and purple stitching.

I'm just free-handing this hat and for some reason I'm really vibing with this color/stitch combo. Crocheted in black wool from my stash for the ribbing, and KnitPicks Wool of the Andes for the body.

FFXIV fam, check out my friends' shop - I have several of their pieces and they are wonderful! ❤️

A handmade stuffed elephant plushie wearing a tank top and mini-skirt in shades of red and orange.

With everything else I do, it's so ironic that I'm so bad at amigurumi. 😆

I hope my little niece likes her though. 🙏

Working on some new offerings for the 2024 market season. 🥰

Oh, I'm a spinner so I'm already several steps down that slope. Luckily, (or not) I don't have enough land for sheep 😂

Thank you! It's my first foray into hand-painting hanks so I was hoping it would turn out good 🥰

It's WIP Wednesday so here's my current project: Fingerless mitts in Knitpicks' Stroll yarn in "Dove" and my own hand-painted "Patina" colorway.

What are you working on? 🧶🥰

Thank you! 🌻 This will be available for sale at a festival I'm attending tomorrow as a vendor. Anything that doesn't sell will likely go up on my Etsy store.

Hand-painted yarn in shades of coppers and greens bound in hanks and packaged with the NRV Dyeworks label.

Something from the dyepot! I've made a tentative foray into hand-painted yarns to see how well they do. This colorway, Patina, was done on a KnitPicks Stroll sock yarn base with Greener Shades acid dyes. 🧶

Thank you! No, I just like sunflowers and found the sunburst granny square pattern, and I had the right colors. It's really good for using small bits of leftover yarn. 🌻🥰

A crocheted cross-body bag made from sunflower granny squares.

🧶I'm pretty happy with this! But trying to sew in a lining has forcibly reminded me how bad my needle-and-thread hand-stitching is. Ironic, eh? 🧶

Thank you! Just search "sunburst granny square" on ravelry.com - they're quite easy to do. 🌻🥰

Sunburst granny squares in sunflower colors.

I've also been on a granny square kick lately. They seem to be popular again. 🧶

Raw locks of brown fleece from a Cormo sheep showing lovely crimp.

So I went to a local fiber festival a little over a week ago and half a sheep's fleece followed me home.

Hello fiber folks! 🧶

Here's some of my recently-finished dyes and spins.
