New ProChem colors!
Yippee!! ProChem has some new colors. Here's a list:
Lenexa, Kansas hook-in
Andrea Allen was nice enough to share a link to a photo album of rugs from this year's Lenexa Hook-In and Rug Show. A real feast for the eyes! Approximately 300 attend this event each year with lots of vendors participating. Perhaps someday I'll make the trek from Upstate New York to Kansas! Anyway ... enjoy the photos.

Here are Andrea's two rugs -- Noah's Ark and Scarecrows. I particularly like the two skunks in Noah's Ark! Thanks so much, Andrea!

Marbelizing Wool
Had some fun on Sunday with a few yards of wool that I marbelized. Started out with quarter yard pieces. 1st set included eggplant, yellow, and blue. 2nd set included eggplant, pine green, and light green. Here are the results.
The first photo is the set that includes eggplant, yellow, and blue. I also included a photo of the wool folded against each other to show what the loops would look like. This wool is for sale on Ebay right now. If you would like to order a set directly, cost is $7.50 plus s/h.
The second photo shows the eggplant, pine green, and light green marbleized wool. This set reminds of shades found in a vineyard. I have not yet listed this wool, but again, you may purchase a set directly from me. I have four sets of this color combo.
Marbelizing wool is such a fun process. You need wool, a wetting agent, and vinegar (to set the color). Layer the wool (with the likely bleeder) in between the other two. Then fold, roll it, twist, etc. and simmer until the water runs clear.
