What? Wool for the fourth of July? What are you? A nut?
YUP!!
I got two big beautiful boxes of wool on Friday and since I have been at home chillin', I got to work washing.
Farm Box 1

Box 2

It is great and I am the luckiest girl in the world! There is nothing like fresh wool from the farm. Particularly after it has been cleaned and scoured. Squeeee.
And when you see these locks you will totally understand.

Love.
Wool.
Locks.
My living room now has a wall-o-wool! About 10 lbs in one day - plus more that is dyed!
Sigh.
Oh and got the hair lightened yesterday. It had been going darker and darker and it was time for a change.

Alrighty then, getting late. Gotta wrap up the computer work so I can get some Zzzzz's. They are a priority this weekend.

Favorites? Well I kinda love them all for different reasons so I am gonna show you one of each. So there!
The mohair is super sweet yearling and perfect for mohairy yarns!
And the Merino is a one of a kind Xlong fleece I imported from Australia. Stunning!!
Crab Island One Mohair
Youth One Mohair 
Landscape Two Xlong Australian Merino Locks 
Eisenlite Two Mohair Locks
Crab Island One Xlong Australian merino
And top it off with some Crab Island Glitz!
Oh and a few weeks ago I went and took pictures of two of my favorite scarves.
They were yarns that someone bought and asked me to knit up! I loved how they turned out.

And Blown Away - a skinny scarf with lots of ribbon fringe - perfect for Florida.


Oh and did I mention there was still a yarn LEFT! I think everyone must have been on vacation again! But hey, whatever! I love this yarn!
It is a beautiful cotswold and merino with bits of 1950/1960 chiffon scarves straight from my Mom's scarf box! 

And silk and bamboo and well... shiny stuff. There are also some strips of a beautiful batiked material!
The one on the far left.... I got these at the same quilt retreat that I got the other fabric strips!
And this cotswold cross in Emerald coast yup, there is still some left! It was so easy to spin with supa long soft-a-licous locks.
And some St. Thomas Merino (sorry - all gone)




It was inspired by all the time I have spent at the beach recently! And sooooooooft!
Otherwise, things are going swimmingly around here.
I am giving away my dog to the highest bidder. Any takers?

Ok, opinions please? What do you think Mr. Ass would like?
