Mr Salt (Corn) and Ms. Pepper (Broccoli) over saw all production and were very happy with the end result:

About a pound of fiber and yarn. Some super wash merino and some just merino. Phew! Now I gotta spin it.

Looks great!

Things might have gotten out of hand if the veggie supervisors weren't there!

How much dye did you use for that amount of fiber?

I've always loved chartruese (sp?) but its a hard color to find anywhere. May have to follow your lead.

Looks like that would go with the green and purple wool in the last post. What a fun weekend! Did the roving come out with color variations like the orange? It's hard to tell from the picture.

Very, very, very pretty!!! I have some superwash merino that is almost the same color. It was part of a colorway that included purples and blues but I thought it might look neat on its own so I separated it out. What are you using yours for?

Love the color.

you KNOW Chartruese is my favorite color - ie: soap dish you gave me, the color of our downstairs bathroom (based on that soap dish)... wink wink nudge nudge :-)
