Some of the most luxurious and beautiful silk I've ever laid my hands on.
This is for sale under Polyartgirl Inspirations at Spindies, the online Art Fiber Festival.
This is some of the softest, most luxurious silk I've ever had the pleasure of touching. It's not sticky like silk can sometimes be. It's soft and spins like a dream.
This brick has much of the natural sparkling white still shining through. The dyed parts are professional acid dyes in warm green and orange.
Silk brick comes in a roving that is about a hand wide. It's long fibers are aligned and may be spun into a very even yarn if that's what you desire.
100% top quality silk, hand wash any yarn or garment made from this fiber to keep it sparkling for many years to come.

Newest combed rovings... 9 little roving cakes in the most delicious color... the warmest, softest brown milk fiber and bamboo blended with spring green merino and a touch of angelina. This has to be one of my favorite combed blends ever.

Phat Samples for April
Hand-painted bamboo samples for Phat Fiber. I'll list the rest on Etsy... well, most of it. I think some of it will be combed into some rovings... maybe a little more of it will be spun up into a gorgeous single yarn. Maybe there won't be much on Etsy... or not for long anyway!

Hand Painted Silk Latte - Milk Fiber
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
More info at: Wear milk if you can't drink it (Milk Yarn) - TE Online

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.

Phatfiber Samples for February
These were my samples for February. Made with the art yarn spinner in mind, but they can easily be carded into a fluffy batt. Next month, I think it'll be yarn... maybe merino. To get more info on Phat Fiber, head over to: http://phatfiber.com/

Pablo's new Ipod Sock
Made from Maggi Knits Irish Linen/Cotton, this little project was a fun one to figure out. After knitting two ipod socks in the last little while, I realized that I'm knitting socks...so I might as well knit some for my feet.
They're out of some really soft cormo yarn that I bought at the Pagosa Fiber Festival a few years back. I dyed the yarn last week, and it's been singing to me ever since.

Loved how these looked in the sunlight this evening
I'm working on another weaving. I want to have at least two more done before the Art Tour.
Lately I can't get enough of working on my knitted rug. There are pictures up over at flickr and at ravelry. I'm going to have to work on xmas presents again soon...

First Ever Sock
I'm still alive! Mostly busy making gifts and learning new processes.... oh and making stuff for the holiday festivals. This is the first sock I've made, and I'm making slippers too.
Yarn started on every bobbin, wool in the combs, wool in the carder, weaving on the loom... Must finish projects!
