A couple new yarns . . .

So, here are the new yarns that I listed yesterday -

Spring Garden bamboo

I have two skeins available - on etsy here and here!

Then, I have "Ocean Splash" - a new CoilySpun yarn - in merino wool so it is very soft & squooshy! I have more of this color of fiber so will either be doing more coils, or maybe an art yarn to coordinate with the coils -

Last night I spun up two "Kitty Singles" and they should be listed later today. Tonight, it may be more singles or possibly back to the bamboo. I have two art yarns "in the works" but may hold off on those until the end of the week. We'll see. I've been feeling sort of "random" this week, so have just been pulling fiber out on a whim and spinning it. I'm also hoping to get another CoilySpun yarn done soon, too.

I was also on the Etsy Front Page last night! Thanks to CuriosityKilled who put me in this gorgeous treasury. Here is just a part of it -

That's all from me this morning! :)

What I did this weekend . . .

This weekend was supposed to be filled with spinning, but instead I was distracted by the stormy weather, and also finally gave in and organized my novelty/specialty yarns -

Now, at least, it should be easier for me to gather yarns together for my art yarn spins! I also moved my fiber bins - they are now stacked to the ceiling!?

You can't really tell from these pictures, but the room does look a little more open now!

I DID get some spinning done, and should have 2 new bamboo skeins and a new CoilySpun yarn ready to list later today. Over the weekend, I did finish up a couple of custom spins, one of which was "Plum Berry Sky". This one was spun from a carded batt of fiber from FeltStudio -

I also spun up some merino wool coils -
And, finally, since I had two skeins of "Hillside Wildflowers" and the customer opted for one, I do have one skein available -
I also have two bamboo sets listed (I will have a set of Spring Garden listed later today) -

Citrus Dreams
Cotton Candy Blues -

And, I also spun up a Navajo 3-ply bamboo skein - this one was going to be part of a two-ply, but this batch was darker than any other I've had before, and I just loved the colors so much, didn't want to dilute them by plying with a lighter batch - so, I just spun it by itself into a 3ply - Dark Stormy Night -
Finally, before I go - I am running a BAMBOO SPECIAL in the month of JUNE!
**If you buy TWO or THREE skeins of bamboo yarn - you will get Free Shipping in the USA or Half Price International Shipping.
**If you buy FOUR or more skeins - you will get the shipping discount *AND* $2.50 off *each skein*!

Please see the bamboo listings in my etsy shop or website for more details! This offer will run until 12midnight CST on June 27. (I have a show June 28 and will be on vacation from June 29-July 4). Also, I have a HUGE box of bamboo fiber ready to spin - if there is a color in my sold section that you would like, there is a chance I can spin it again - please contact me for details!

More bamboo - "Ice Princess"

Just a quickie picture post today to show the new bamboo yarn I listed yesterday - a color I'm calling "Ice Princess" spun from the "Blue Pearl" color from the FiberLady.


I'll have a new color listed later today, too!

In other news -
I did list two new bamboo skeins yesterday but they have sold. I have four more that will be listed this afternoon, and plan on spinning up at least two tonight to list tomorrow!

My morning so far . .

So, this morning when I woke up, I was very tired. I thought, "I have to leave work early today anyways I should just stay home." But, no. I've only got 18 more days left, I should really go in . . .

So, I did.

Well, eventually.

It took me *two hours* to get to work this morning. It usually takes 35-40 minutes. The freeway was *completely shut down*. Ugh. It was a total mess. And, of course, because they were diverting traffic off the freeway there was heavy traffic on the frontage roads, apparently other scheduled lane closures and a sinkhole? pothole? on one of the roads in the area. But, I persevered and finally got here! Yay!

I didn't have much to say today, anyways, but did want to show off the new art yarn that I listed yesterday - Boho Brights. Two skeins of hand dyed merino wool (dyed by the Yarn Wench), with novelty yarns spun in, and plied with thread. Here they are! (You can click on the picture to go to the etsy listing.)


I spun up a new bamboo color last night so should have two single ply skeins listed later today. But, now, must get to work! ;)

New yarns!

Some new hand spun yarns now listed -

CoilySpun - Southwest Rustic - merino wool, 52 yards, 2.5 oz


FunctionArt/Kitty Minis - Southwest Rustic - merino wool, 52 yards, 1.9 oz
Kitty Singles - Vintage PolkaDot - 150 yards, worsted weight, spun from hand dyed Falkland wool.You can click on the pictures to go the the etsy listing, or check out kittygrrlz.com as they will be listed there shortly, too.

Last night, I spun up a bright and vivid art yarn in shades of orange, pink/fuchsia, and turquoise. Here is a sneak peek (two skeins available, they will be listed later today). It was spun from merino wool hand dyed by the Yarn Wench in color "Boho".

After I get them listed this afternoon, I will be spinning up more bamboo! So, I should have at least two new skeins available tomorrow! I'll be spinning bamboo for the next couple of days, most likely, then will be returning to the art yarns. I've got an all-shades-of-blue one planned, and possible a purple/yellow one. Actually, I have a whole list of potential ones I want to spin but not the time to spin them all - yet!

I think that's it from me this morning! :)

CoilySpun!

Yesterday, my "CoilySpun" featured yarn ad started running on Ravelry so I've been trying to spin up some new coily yarns. Here are a couple of new ones that were listed yesterday!


Even though I have 14 pounds of bamboo waiting to be spun, I took a break from it this weekend and instead spun up some coils, a small art yarn, and a single ply yarn. The art yarn and matching coils will be listed later this afternoon, and I may also list the single ply as well.

I also actually *took a break* and went to a graduation party for my boyfriend's cousin's daughter. It was fun, though I did lose a lot of spinning time.

My plan for the week is to spin a few new art yarns, a coil or two, and of course, more bamboo!! I'm hoping to have 2 new yarns to list each day! Then, come the weekend I'll be doing as much spinning as possible! :)

That's all I really have for a Monday morning!
