Finally- the Silk is Listed









Ha! I finally got the silk listed- I even spun up samples of 3 of the colorways! I haven't posted the "Atlantis" colorway here, because both 2 oz listings sold immediately. People love the blues!! I always seem to have to throw in a little purple, though... ;)

I am working on all 17 of the spindle/fiber club shipments right now- and will start shipping a few each day on Monday--- well, that is the plan!! So all of you in the club can start stalking the mailman sometime around the latter half of next week.

Fresh Silk






I came up with a new method to paint silk- and I am so pleased with the results!!
The three on the right are silk top with noil- makes a beautiful slightly textured thread... a little smoother than spun silk hankies. The four on the left are bombyx silk top- the top is a little thicker than a pencil roving, making it easier to draft and spin.
