In some ways I've been busy in the world of fiber arts and in others I've been lounging about, wistfully thinking of all the projects I want to finish. I have started a tapestry (finally), but I haven't drawn out my plans for it... So, it just sits, waiting for me to take up some yarn and work away at it.
I have also come into possession of a fair amount of dyes. Tonight was my first chance to use them. I'm sure I could have made the time before this, but I like dallying when I've been out of the house all day. Unfortunately it was dark outside when I dyed my fiber, so I was unable to capture any photos for your viewing pleasure. I'm also unsure as to whether I should spin it up, or turn it into roving. Choices, choices, choices....
I would also like to create a collapse weave piece and a rug since I now have some absolutely beautiful rug wool. I will have to take picture of that as well. I need to get into some sort of spinning routine so that my production is more consistent and I don't loose my touch. It has been a bit challenging to spin soft-spun yarns seeing as I am used to adding extra twist for structural integrity, but it looks better as a single, so I better get crackin! My goal is to get myself a little stand in a local community market, or some space in a storefront, and sell my products that way. It feels more personal and I will most likely have less pressure to lower my prices. Well, back to dyeing.... :D
