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.

More new milk fibers for my etsy store... This week I'm combing some of this silky fiber into a nice sparkling roving. I'll post that up this week.

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!

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

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.

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/

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.
