because it's YPF!!! Well, no yarn-gasp! Well, actually, I can never disappoint! I have a couple of new rovings I bought from the Yarn Wench. (Yes, the Leming Syndrome that Nartian has made me aware of...) I popped over to Knitters Anonymous and read about how much Kristie 'loves' the Yarn Wench's rovings...so...I bought some! I really only purchased ONE...but then she posted more and so, of course, despite doubled shipping now...I bought ANOTHER. These are the 'Retro' and "Islander" colorways. So no new purchased yarn, but some roving and pics of some handspun yarn from the three lastest purchases of Funky Carolina "Toadstool", Yarn Wench "Retro" and Yarn Wench "Islander" rovings!
The colors appear in this pic a bit more browned out. Picture, if you will, a bit more yellow to these colors. So picture, if you will, the center "Retro" color REALLY looking, well..."Retro"-think back to the old days of harvest gold, avacado green and burnt orange kitchens/refridgerators...remember the upholstry? Kind of a furry, velvety type damask with the gold in it? Well, this yarn reminds me so much of that. It really is a swirl of those three colors! And definitely more gold/yellowish in color vs. the brown tone. And the Islander? Look above at the rovings, which are more true to the colors. I can hardly wait to get around to getting a whole braid spun, but since I am still only handspindling, progress is slow. Sock Camp was my splurge this year, setting the spinning wheel back for now. Definitely in the next two years!

Nice roving colors! Me too, I've been looking at Yarn Wench but went w. some Funky Carolina apple blossom roving - nice stuff. I use just a spindle too, I guess we both have to "make do" now. Kristi's posts are great source of fiber enabling and now I guess, you too :) Terry
