Today’s soundtrack is Neil Young.

My darling Beatrice! Why the two skeins? The first batt or two, I was still picking up a tiny bit of red from whatever I carded last, even though I cleaned the drum as best I could. It’s a big “Drat!” because the whole reason I wanted to make some white yarn was to revel in the pristine-ness (pristinity?). So snowy white! I separated the adulterated from the pure, so I could revel.

Through the miracle of Liquid Tide.

For some reason I had the urge to do something I *never* do – make white yarn.

Either my life right now is the best it’s ever been, and ever going to be, i.e. Peak Life – or, it’s the best it’s ever been, and it gets even better. Either way, this moment is win-win.

Made of yarn leftovers. Most of these colors I’d dyed myself, I think all except the orange and possibly the purple. They make a nice autumnal theme together. Now ready to pack these socks away till autumn.

Going to do something on the warm side next.

It’s magic when:

• goat poop turns into soil
• smelly dirty goat hair turns into pretty yarn
• flour, water, and a few other things turn into bread

Today I witnessed all of those things!

I like this mix a lot except for the dark green. I’ve mostly covered it up here. But it doesn’t play nicely with the yellow. Oh well.
