This weekend is the first weekend since I got home from holidays that I haven’t been flat-out busy.

It’s nice to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon on the couch doing the things that I love most.

Fibre is “Aurora” BFL from Hello Yarn.

Instructions for dyeing, carding and spinning this Swallowtail can be found in Issue #23 of Ashford’s “The Wheel” magazine.

All set for tomorrow’s big update.

As always, everything sold by SCF is pre-dyed, packaged and ready to ship.

My crazy plans for this year’s Rhinebeck sweater are slowly coming together. The batts pictured were made from twelve different HY/SE/SCF colourways as well as some bits and pieces from my sample box. At this rate it may end up being my Rhinbeck 2012 sweater.

A sneak-peek at a few of the new colours for Autumn/Winter 2011/12.

The Project Spectrum colour for August is magenta.

The Project Spectrum colour for July is blue. I’m not a huge fan of “true” blues. This blue is shifted slightly towards teal and I’m in love the result.

The Project Spectrum colour for June was green. I loved this colour so much I did it for club

The Project Spectrum colour for May is red.
