New Beginnings

It has been a long time since I have done anything with my blog. With the start of the new year, I figured it was time to come back to it. New things are happening. I have two online stores now. One is http://lilbitofheavenfibers.etsy.com This is were I have listed for sale anything to do with fiber from the llamas and Shetland sheep. You will find hand spun yarns and roving.

I now have a store at artfire. http://lilbitofheavenfibers.artfire.com. Here you will find all my hand dyed yarns from many different fibers.

Also working on having all my fibers at different fiber festivals through out Virginia. Plus they will be offered for sale up at Meadows of Dan in southwest Virginia, at a store called Greenberry House, run by Leslie S. Allen.

Many new things are happening, so keep checking my stores out and this blog.

Happy New Year Everyone!

More dyed yarns

I have been busy with my dye pots. Have come up with some new bright colors for spring and summer. Some are listed on my etsy store lilbitofheavenfibers.etsy.com and a lot have gone to Greenberry House. So if you are in the area of Meadows of Dan, VA. over the summer stop in, and check all the cool fiber and yarns for sale.

Also working on changing my etsy store and give it a new look with new fiber items. After 4 years I need to add some new things. So over the next few months new items will start showing up. This is not going to be a fast change, it will just happen over the next year.

Dying Yarn

Dyed up some great yarn last week. The one yarn that I really like, started out as a mistake. I had sprinkled some dye on the yarn, added the water and let it boil slowly. The colors did not work, so I then overdyed all the skeins. The yarn came out a great color, looks like antique bronze. So that became it's name. It all went to Greenberry House and is now on the shelf's.

This week I worked on dying up some BFL yarn in shades of blue and purple. That came out great. Now I need to get pictures and put it up on my etsy store ( http://lilbitofheavenfibers.etsy.com). I like to use natural light in taking pictures of all my yarns. But this weekend is a rainy one, no sun. So will have to wait a few days.

Spring

Need to catch up on this blog. I have been terrible about keeping up on what I am doing. Since it is spring and everything is blooming, time to get this blog updated.

This week I am working on dying up a batch of BFL roving. Not sure of the colors yet. That decision I do not decide about until I am ready to put in the dye. If all goes well they will be up on my ets store http://lilbitofheavenfibers.etsy.com by next week.

Also working on some new handspun yarns, that I dyed. Most of those yarns will be headed to Leslie at Greenberry House in Meadows of Dan, VA. Things are gearing up ago at her lys store, so time to get new inventory in.
