Dudleyspinner Tie Dye Roving/Combed Top: Angelica Merino In My Artfire Studio

I built my self a studio today. An Artfire Studio


Anita and Angelica are available from the new shop.

We have a water leak in the garden, so today Mike dug up the water line and fixed it. At least the garden is well watered. A little too well watered, the corn is falling down since the ground is so soft. A few roasing ears, some tomatos and green beans have been making suppers pretty wonderful. I love garden tomatos with some black olives and oil and balsamic vinegar dressing.

Teaching at Longmont Dudleyspinner Handpainted Tie Dye Roving (TM) Combed Top

This gentleman was game enough to try spinning with a drop spindle at the Handweavers Guild of Boulder Annual Sale in Longmont Colorado in December. He stuck with it long enough to spin a pretty nice yarn and was asking his friend about borrowing a wheel to use. He was laid off work and thought it would keep him busy. Good idea.
I got some spinning done while the electricity was out for 8 days. I can spin in the dark! I never knew that. It may help that it was some dayglow orange dudleyspinner roving I was spinning

I got a bump of hemp fiber to play around with. I got some really good color when dying this colonial blue. This is available on etsy
