Cashmere Rainbow

July 15th, 2008

This is a slightly cheesy named yarn, to add to the cheese say it as if Doug Henning was saying it. “CAsssshhhmmmere RAAAIINbow” That makes both cheesy and ironic. This is some really nice stuff. It was spun using a 100% Calvin Klein cashmere sweater. I spun the rest of it using  llama, bamboo, marino and corriedale . The colors are lovely. Andy actually picked them out. Sometimes we collaborate for fun.

Parachute Inspired Llama

July 7th, 2008

I have my first gig as a custom spinner/dyer. A lovely woman who bought some of my llama boucle off of etsy requested some more yarn. I have plenty of that white llama left. She requested colors that were similar to “It’s a Parachute Man”. I think these capture it pretty well. The colors came out bright and super saturated. I dyed a pound and a half today- which left my home smelling a bit like a Peruvian whorehouse.
