The 2007 R&R Spinners Sock Swap was a huge success!  Shirley baked a delicious SOCK CAKE, and we had a big spread at Beatrice's house.  See more photos

What does one do with leftover Easter egg dyes?  Why, dye fiber, of course!  More photos

Fiber included roving, small batts, washed fleece, mostly white, but some grey or brown (see dark grey in the
yellow batch)  Merino, romney, corriedale and some other fiber that was unidentified.  These are very small amounts, less than an ounce

Gray corriedale fiber I overdyed green and blended with turquoise mohair, yellow wool and some natural gray.  12 wpi Spun on my Louet workhorse. 
It will be a cardigan sweater for me.

This beautiful shade of moorit Shetland lamb is currently on my
Jensen wheel.  It's spinning up into a fine, lofty singles which will be nice for a pair of mittens. 23 wpi.
This fiber was sent to me by a my friend, Julia, in England.  It has very different characteristics from the Shetland I've found here in the U.S. and I like it a lot!
