I’ve had a couple skeins of handspun lying around that I’ve failed to do anything about. Today I finally gathered their statistics and listed them in the shop.
“Waimea Bay”
100% Merino
2ply – 190 Yards
14 WPI
4.05 oz
fiber is from “Hungry For Handspun”
“Aubergine”
100% Wensleydale
380 yards
11 WPI
5.15 oz
fiber is also from “Hungry For Handspun”
This is the first time I’ve left a yarn as a single. It came about because the Wensleydale was such a bear to spin. I didn’t want to deal with it more then I had to. Still, I’m pleased with how the yarn turned out.
I’m also pleased with how well the Duke Blue Devils played this weekend. Once again, they’re the ACC Champions and Scheyer’s namesake was named the MVP of the tournament.
Life is good.
Here’s a recycled picture of my Scheyer. He almost looks like Onyx in this shot.
Happy Monday, people! Don’t forget to wear green tomorrow!

Love the merino! I’m just doing the singles thing these days too, it’s fun though!

I really like the subtle interactions of color in “Waimea Bay.”
Also, I love sleeping kitty pictures.

Those are beautiful yarns! Happy week to you!

Gorgeous yarns, I’m sure they will sell very quickly. Those purple singles are something else. I, too, am learning more about the benefits of singles. I’m glad your teams did well. Scheyer looks very content.

sleepy kitteh! It seems that’s what mine does best too. As long as it is near me. :D

Mondays are nto happy! Well, I guess it was.
Oh right, green. Do I have to wash it first? lol

Love the colors! Beautiful stuff!
Laptop says Hi to Scheyer and points out that he should be doing something useful instead of sleeping–like clawing the furniture :)

I love Aubergine – what a gorgeous yarn! Scheyer is too cute – looks like a very good nap!
March 17th, 2009 at 5:24 am
Both yarns look amazing! I really like Aubergine (duh – it’s purple!).
Scheyer looks so content! Many snuggles heading his way!

Of course I forgot to wear green!! UGH.
As for the Wensleydale, it almost looks like a Lopi single. I love it!

I did a double-take with that photo of Scheyer. I remembered Onyx’s pose right away. Ah, they never leave us…
That blue is gorgeous. End of story.

Beautiful yarns!

good lord your yarn is gorgeous! And so is your sweet little kitty :)

The yarns are beautiful – especially the aubergine stuff – absolutely edible!
And snoozing Scheyer there is beyond appealing :)
March 18th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
I guess it is a given by now that I adore those colors. The yarns are beautiful.
March 18th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
These are beautiful.
March 18th, 2009 at 7:09 pm
What beautiful yarn. I would like to explore spinning the singles that are good yarn staying singles.

As always, your yarn is lovely! And so is Scheyer…he looks positively angelic there.
(((hugs)))
