I think the Loopy Ewe is in cahoots with Jimmy Johns. I placed my first order with them on Thursday afternoon, and the box was in my hands with Saturday’s mail. damn, that was quick!

here’s what I ordered:
DSCF6211
Lone Star Arts Superwash Merino
color: Cricket

DSCF6206
The Dyeing Arts Superwash Merino
color: Duos - Little Umbrellas

DSCF6207
it’s cool - the Duos are two separate colorways. here’s what they look like separated

I have been spinning. today I worked on the beaded yarn. I went from this (spun earlier this month):
DSCF6204

to this:
DSCF6213

if the beads look familiar, they’re the same ones I used on Lilin’s socks and mom’s Mrs Beeton’s.

next up: plying it with the other bobbin.

I’ve also got the natural dyed coopworth that I bought at Shepherd’s harvest last year in progress. I’m thinking I need more of Stephania’s fibers this year.
