The batts lined up from darkest to lightest. Then they got blended so each batt now ranges from brownish to pinkish. And outside, the autumn colors.

Here are the batts so far from:

These are the yarns that will go into this year’s Fair Isle sweater project.

From Mountain View Coopworths.

I was on the fence between this and similar yarns from my pals at the Green Mountain Spinnery, but decided to go with the smaller business this year. If GMS had had any Mountain Mohair in natural, I would have gone that way.

My totally frivolous purchase at the Fair this year was curly dyed locks from American Teeswater Sheep Association. I’ve gotten one of these packs from them at least once before. Tytania, you really need more dyed curly locks in your life? YES! Something about this just makes me want to comb comb comb and see how the colors combine.

My new skein of pink yarn joins its brethren, or sisthren.

Two very different greens. Been a long time since I dyed.

The blue-on-yellow one has a couple of serious mistakes, not even including the color combination, which I kind of never really got into. The yellow-on-brown one is pretty good though, and they both served the purpose of keeping Tytania’s hands busy during meetings.

This batch was so nice & easy to card I’m going to make a solid skein and still have two batts left for a future blend.

…and she has been combing up beautifully!
