Mmmmm. Fibery goodness.
Or Stitches West, Part Deux.
I also got some gorgeous fiber at Stitches West, since I am now a confirmed fiber-holic. First up, from Karen at the Royale Hare, we have some amazingly soft (and green) superwash BFL. Just look at that color!
This is going to be a hat for my mail carrier, whose spinning wheel I have. She was so sweet; she loaned me her wheel indefinitely because she's not using it, but doesn't want to sell it to me because she'd never buy another! She likes green, too. :) I couldn't resist starting to spin it.
It is sooooooo soft.
Karen doesn't have fiber on her site yet, but I think we're going to work on it over the summer.
Next up, is some delectable merino/tencel fiber from Tactile. Yummmmm. It's naturally dyed and I cannot wait to spin this stuff! It is a lovely light springy chartreusey golden green.
And last but definitely not least, is some BFL from Lisa Souza. These are two different colorways, but I loved the way the colors coordinate. I think I may ply them together.
And yes, there is something of a greenish theme here, why do you ask? :)

I love all of the green-especially the BFL. I can't believe how you got the wheel. What a great story, and yes, it's definitely worth a hat made with homespun yarn.
I was wondering where I can get the pattern for the blue stole? It's beautiful & I wasn't at Stitches West.
Love your fiber!
Michele :)
Ooh, pretty. Another Evergreen shawl from "Fiber Gathering," after the hat?
Please let us know how the Lisa Souza spins up. I'm thinking of buying some of her fiber but haven't read/heard any reviews. I'm guessing it will be wonderful but some details would be nice. Congratulations on your latest fiber acquisitions.
Which colorways are the LS rovings? Beautiful!
