English Rose



Today I whipped up a batt set that instantly became one of my all-time favorites. English Rose is 3 ounces of hand-dyed mill ends (domestic wool with a touch of mohair) in two super soft squishy floofy batts just waiting to be spun or felted. If you spin it as is, the resulting yarn will alternate between rose by itself and barber-pole sections that twist dark green around the rose. Or you can separate the sections and spin it any way you choose! If you want it, grab it quick, before I decide to keep it for myself! And be warned... whoever spins this one up had better send me pictures! I can't wait to see the yarn it becomes!

    Glad you like it! I had planned to use the green for another batt, but when those two came out of my dyepots, I just knew they should be together.

I have decided to start moderating comments. If you are human, and you are friendly and non-spammy, I would absolutely LOVE to hear from you because comments make me happy! Your comment will show up on the blog probably the same day, assuming I am not insanely busy.

If you are spammy, or trolly, or a robot, you cannot post comments to my blog. Unless you are an exceptionally friendly robot with human leanings, like Summer Glau. Robots will be allowed to post comments on a case-by-case basis.
