A lovely lavender Border Leicester fleece
transformed into a textured artisan yarn.
And a fuzzy reversible cowl made from a Merino silk
commercial blend and my own handspun Mohair locks

Patchwork Skinny Scarf
Well, I made this with the intention of selling on my Etsy store, but when I finished and took photos I realized that I really liked it an awful lot. Then my hubby tells me "it's perfectly "you"", which made me realize that I really just have to keep it. It's made up of five different types of my own handspun yarn. You could also call this a "destash" scarf because it is literally made with the dregs of skeins that weren't enough for one entire project.

New Yarn
Here is a lovely 100% mohair skein in gold and peach. It's super soft and fluffy and just beautiful.
And here's the Tornado I may have mentioned!
And last, but not least, this lovely corespun chunky weight; I call this one "Playground".
Oh Geez, I'm so Behind!
Here is the pastel skinny scarf! It turned out really cute, I'm tempted to keep it.

More Later
I have another skinny scarf in pastel rainbow colors that I just need to get photos of, will probably list on Etsy tomorrow, as well as a way cool tornado skein that includes five different fibers, four of them making up the tornado. Main colors are purple and orange. It's drying now .... I think it turned out really nice.
And I'm spinning up some mohair fleece in yellow and peach, may be able to get that listed tomorrow as well.

Just a Couple New Items
My favorites from tonight's update:
This is 100% Merino wool, thick and thin in ecru and soft pink.
This is a three season scarf I made with some handspun yarn and added glass beads to the fringe.
This yarn is not quite the same yarn as I made the scarf with, but it is the same material I made the yarn that I made the scarf with.
Make sense?
Shop Update Tonite!
I will be updating my shop tonight at 7pm Eastern time. Not a huge update, six items including some art yarns, a traditional skein, and a lovely homespun handknit scarf. Check it out!

Here it is!
The amazing thick and thin 100% Australian Merino at 15.5 micron fiber thickness! This was such a joy to spin, feels like a cloud to touch.

Latest Yarn
This is a 50/50 Silk Merino blend and very soft. I love the colors - bright blues and aqua, just like a swimming pool on a hot summer day. So refreshing!

New Roving!
I just purchased this roving from Woolgatherings, to make another skein or two of thick and thin. This is also 100% Merino wool but this batch is from Australia and is 15.5 microns; very fine so should make a gorgeous luxury yarn.

Special Treasury
This treasury, made my MJJ Rosebuds, was made in honor of the Shiny Happy People team captain, Heyme, from Heyme's Baltic Amber. He's having some health challenges right now and this treasury is so beautifully done.

New Art Yarn - Corespun!
Well, that was fun. Every inch as it went through my fingers was a wonder. The technique used to spin this yarn means that every color and every texture of the art fiber is spun around a core (of nondescript origin) such that it all shows up. Purple, plum, white, blue, soft, silky, bumpy - everything!
And here are some coasters I whipped up with some of it ...
