For Steorracat

It's on its way!

It's somewhere in the 300-320 yard mark (measured before fulling the yarn).

Sent priority, so should be there before the week's end!

Even battier

New batts on my Etsy Shop. These are "matched batts" which were all made at the same time, with the same materials, but mixing them differently so that a spinner can end up with a striping yarn. Definitely fun to spin!

For Jenningma

This


has become this


Approximately 140 yards of worsted weight, super fluffy single. Ships tomorrow since the post office is closed today, and its still drying. There was some VM still in the batt which came out nicely when it was spinning, and then it had a bath in some eucalyptus Eucalan.

Etsy Live!

Finally, my etsy shop has gone live. You can find me at www.knitkass.etsy.com.

Per another Etsyer's suggestion, I'm letting the things I have trickle in, to keep me at the top of the page.

The first set of offerings will be the batts from a couple of posts back. I've bundled them into groups of three coordinating or complimentary batts. I think I'll go assemble a couple of drop spindles to make up drop spindle "learn to spin" kits, like what I had at the Ren Faire, and select which handspun items will go. I'm going to list some of the things I've had on hand since the Hillsborough Farmer's Market, like the corn bags, neck coolers, coffee cup cozies. All in good time.

Can't Stop Here. . .This is Batt country!

With apologies to H. S. Thompson.

I will admit. I've been going a bit crazy with the drum carder.

I love it. love love love it


I took the entire 1 lb bag of Cotswold Curls I'd ordered from Brown Sheep, mixed them up into 1-ounce mixes, and now have 16 gorgeous batts, ready to start my Etsy Shop! (If they don't sell there, there's always the Ren Faire).

The Cotswold was as advertized, brightly dyed with the potential for some VM mixed in, and there is still a little bit of VM in some of the batts, but it will come out when spinning.

And now I have this:

And want to do this to each and every one of them!
