Sorry to have been away so long. The kids were on vacation last week and we had beautiful weather. We spent a few days at six flags (pictures to come) and the rest of the time was spent outside. I would have posted earlier this week but I left my camera in blogless Jean's car after the Yarn Harlot event at Webs and wasn't able to pick it up until yesterday. The funny part was I didn't even use it not even once. I was to overwhelmed by the thousand or so knitters that were there. Now I have it back and figured I'd show you some fiber that picked up at Ct sheep and wool. That's have a look shall we?

First of all I got there right when it opened at 9:00 and we left at 10:30. My oldest son had his first soccer game that day and no amount of fiber was going to make me miss it but I really missed seeing all of you guys. Hopefully we will meet up at Cummington. My main goal was to find a fleece to mix with Bob's bunny fluff so it was off to the red barn first where I found a gorgeous CVM fleece. I didn't take any pics sorry it's already been sent of with the angora for processing. I so can't wait to get it back! After that we walked around a bit and bought just a few things.

My first purchase was 4oz. of beautiful Cormo from Fox hill fibers.

Some merino/tencel from one of my favorite places, The Sheep Shed. The colorways are Bermuda and Summer fields.

The last purchase was from a new to me dyer,Dye Dreams. It's a very soft alpaca and I love the colors. I'm thinking maybe a nice lace scarf for this one.

It was a great hour and a half I do wish I could have spent more time though and didn't bring my camera because I knew we were only going to be there for a short time.

Over the last few weeks I did manage to spin up three yarns.

From top to bottom : Merino hand dyed by me I call it "Sugar and Spice" even though it looks orangey in the picture it really isn't. Then there is 4oz. of superwash wool that I bought from The Loopy Ewe the colorway is "Neapolitan" and it came out a nice fingering weight, and the last one is "Think Spring" from the Spunky Club the fiber is South African fine and it came to be a Sport weight it's a little on the light side but still very pretty. It kind of reminds me of those marshmallow peeps.

That's all for now I hope you all have a great day!
