lots of fiber

well I have lots of new things yay!!!

forst is some roving I discovered at the markets at The Channon, this woman was seeing tons of it and I picked up 2 lots of about 3oz each for $14 all up.




I dyed up the blue faced Leicester with some of the KoolAid that Orghlaith sent me. For some reason the photo comes out very brown, it is actually a deap red/maroon with light pink though it, I used the cherry, grape and pink lemonade I think.


I made some socks for Rohan using the generic toe up pattern. They took me about 3 days for make due to the size and I think they turned out rather well myself.


And the best of all? I plyed some of the Garden Dream roving, and it has come up fantastic, I started doing a 2 ply but it was thinner then I wanted, so I changed to a navajo ply and it is a sock-think sock yarn, I have 52 yards of it but I still have another single to ply as well as what looks like 17 tons of roving to spin LMAO. I took a close up with a 3mm/size 3 needle next to it. I was going to put a coin next to it but then thought only Aussies would be able to get an idea of size from that LMAO.
