Etsy

In my quest to organize my wool, I have decided to go all out, and load up on items in my Etsy shop. Please check it out if you are looking for wool for a specific project or just for fun.

I've been dyeing a lot this week and have quite a few of my favorite colors listed. Still have a pile to dye, so there will be quite a bit of wool still to be listed. It takes me a while to list, because I can't seem to get good photos that show true color. I'm going to try some outdoor shots in the shade and without the flash to see what happens. I read on someone's blog that the colors will be truest if shot this way.

Here's the link:

Wool, Wool, and More Wool!

Here is what is waiting to be listed on Etsy and Ecrater along with wool that is separated and waiting to be dyed. Yikes! Thank God for air conditioning!



The great thing is that the wool waiting to be dyed uses lots of different methods: spot, overdye, abrash, pancake, dip dye, and marbleizing. I'd really like to do some swatches also, but they can be quite time consuming. We'll see.

Hope you all have a wonderful Fourth of July! It's a great country we live in.

Quoting Pooh

I love this quote from Winnie the Pooh:

"If you live to be 100,
I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day,
so I never have to live without you.”
