It's a great place to be, really. I'm almost through the 20+ pounds of roving I ordered a couple of weeks ago. I'm going to have to buy a whole bump next time, and replenish dyes soon too. So I guess my business experiment is going well. I don't think I'll sell it all in a month, but I'll at least "produce" it all in that time. I've found a lot of ways to streamline all the little processes, from fiber prep to shipping. I just wish I wasn't bogged down by a day job. I keep thinking about the endless possibilities, but those possibilities more bandwidth than I have to spare.
Here is the latest batch of rovings:
I've been buying a LOT more of other artists' fiber lately; something I thought I could curb by producing more of my own, but being surrounded more by my own stuff makes me crave something different and new. I've been trying to spin lots more, but it comes in fits and starts.
This is probably the best yarn in the world, spun from
Hobbledehoy batts- I call it "Waves Become Wings":
And this is "Aeroplane Flies High" from my handpainted roving:
That's all for now! I've got to try to catch up on some sleep :)

Ooooh - are you gonna sale that "Waves become Wings" skein? :)
Not sure yet, Idyll! I'm thinking of keeping it for myself and knitting a neckwarmer cowl thing.
