House of Yarn

There is a phenomenal amount of yarn in my house at the moment. In the space of about 2 weeks I had orders for over 52kgs of yarn! This was mostly the co-op, which has been pretty exciting. So I've been dyeing 3 full days a week, which is as much as I can squeeze in between kids and everything else :) Still, I have about 4 sessions to go when all customs and co-op dyeing is done - until the Pear Tree arrives, that is. I'm at the point where my hands are really feeling it, and I'm looking forward to seeing a huge pile of dyed and labeled yarn waiting to be packed up rather than containers of undyed yarn, dye lists and schedules :D Here's a peek of what I have been up to.....and why I have been so quiet.

'Romani' above and 'Depth' below on WOOLganic Australian Organic Wool 8ply. I love this yarn - so soft and velvety, a delight to dye and knit.

I've also been dyeing quite a bit of fiber lately, mostly silk. There will be some BFL sliver for the shop soon. 'Evoke' above and 'Berry fuchsia' below.

And finally the co-op: Due to the amount of yarn being dyed, I hung a new extra drying rack outside and a line inside - this is the line inside. It is this full constantly. We have had alot of rain here, so I've had to keep everything rotating to get it all dry. It is such a lovely wall decoration, it will be a shame to see it go.
