Some new yarns for Fall
I haven't been spinning as much as I should due to aches and pains, but I've managed to spin up a few new handspun yarns in perfect Autumn/Fall/Halloween colors!
First, there is more Coral Snake. This is one of my favorite art yarn colors so it's no surprise that I've spun more. This time the skeins are a little different - only coral, golden yellow and black yarns spun in so if you've seen previous skeins, there are no deep purple yarns spun in this time. I have two skeins available at the moment and will have two more listed soon. You can find Kitty Grrlz Hand Spun FunctionArt Art Yarn - Coral Snake in my etsy shop here!
Second, is what I think is a great Halloween color....I started spinning a bit of this color at Fiber in the Park last week, so when I got home, I spun up the rest of the fiber. I ended up with a 3 oz skein of about 117 yards of thicker worsted weight Navajo 3ply yarn in awesome shades of orange, green and black. This is spun from Falkland wool - not as soft as merino, but would still be great for a pair of wristwarmers or maybe a treat bag!

How I spent my Labor Day...
For the first time since BEFORE Stitches Midwest, I spun some new yarns! I spun up some more Mahogany Plum art yarn for a special request, and then some merino/tencel in a fun, bright colorway. As I prepare for fall shows, my goal is to spin at least one skein every day! So far, so good!
