Guilds..... are a wonderful thing!
Did I tell anyone that I joined a spinning guild? Well if I didn't, I joined a spinning guild! Back in November. We meet once a month and I love it! These women (and men) are a wealth of information! This months meeting involved a sale table. You bring in fiber related things to sell and buy. I sold a book so I bought this
I believe it is Kool Aid dyed roving. I just loved the colors.
I also had to have this because it reminded me of Suki (my cat)
A woman in the guild makes things out of old wool sweaters and things. Ain't it cute?
We also received fiber/yarn for our guild project in December. 4 oz of a wool/alpaca blend.
I think I am definately going to dye this for a more heathered look. What you are to do is create something with this fiber to exchange with another guild member at the December meeting. This past December yielded some GORGEOUS things. I can't wait!
Finally I have a progress photo to show of my project spectrum project
This is spinning up so fast that I will have to make something else either with this yarn or with some of the other yarn I pictured. I am almost done spinning it all up. It is going to be beautiful.
over and out.

"Ain't"???? I guess it is your blog and you are entitled to some artistic license with phrasing...
Thanks for throwing in the men! LOL

Lovely handspun! Love that pink!!
I did some KoolAid dyeing in 2004 and used the same colors as that roving. The little scarf I made out turned out so well!
Take care, Beth ;)
