No spinning pics tonight, because we're having a gen-u-ine high plains thunderstorm, complete with near-horizontal rain and hail the size of pinto beans, and while I'm loving the opportunity to stand on my balcony and watch the storm, neither my camera nor my spinning wheel are very enthusiastic.

The problem with selling fiber as well as spinning it is that I always let other people have all the good colors ^_^ But I think this one has it's charms, in a rather eccentric way. I finished the first of three plies tonight.

Future Fiber Batches

I'm just about done with my BFL wool. I ordered 22 lbs of Mohair from RH Lindsey yesterday, but it will probably take a week or two to get here. In the mean time, I'll be playing around with what little ecru fiber I have left in my stash. This means about a pound of silk top, two pounds of Corridale, and a couple of miscellaneous one-pound samples from RH. Hopefully by the time I'm trying to dye poly-fil the mohair will have arrived and I can work on that.

Then I'll have 22 pounds of Mohair to dye, which should keep me busy until I get my resale number and can start ordering from snobby wholesale companies ^_^ I'm not sure how long it will take to get approved by the various companies, but if all goes according to my cunning plan, major fiber batches will occur in the following sequence:

1. Mohair
2. Silk Hankies
3. Superwash Merino
4. Silk Top
5. BFL
6. Merino
7. Alpaca

Sorry, no yarn pics this time around. I only had the idea for this blog today.
