Silk Latte - Milk Fiber
Originally uploaded by polyartgirl
New!! I'll be listing these milk fiber rovings as well as blending the milk fiber into my current combed rovings. I'm so excited to start offering this beautiful fiber in my Etsy shop this month.

The fiber is incredibly soft. I'll have to spin a sample soon.

Some info about Silk Latte:
Milk Fiber advantages:

* Superior in strength to wool!
* Contains 17 amino acids and natural anti-bacterial properties...hint hint..socks...
* Same ph as human skin (great for sensitive skin!)
* Milk Fiber is enviro-friendly and is considered a "green" product.
*Milk fiber is made from milk casein, instead of fresh milk

New Combed Roving - Purple People Eater

I've decided to start playing with all of my stashed fibers. I have Everything at my fingertips, and I love to comb.

In the end there are about 5 roving balls with this set. They all contain the same fibers with differing levels of blending. The fibers include: handpainted mohair locks, supersoft white Merino, bright purple bamboo, lots of sparkly angelina, and just a touch of green sari silk.

I'll list this on Etsy in the next couple days as I start the next batch on my combs.
