Loop's Spontaneous Spinning Club

I fell in love with the gorgeous colors and textures of the spinning batts produced by Loop. It was more or less an obsession at first sight, and even though I could card up similar batts of my own, I couldn't resist joining Loop's Spontaneous Spinning Club. I guess the allure is the anticipation of not knowing what's coming next, but knowing it will be something that inspires me. Each month a new and wondrous batt arrives in my mail box- an exquisite treat that has me running for my wheel as soon as I get home. I even forgot to take a photo of the batt for the last yarn I spun cause I couldn't wait to spin it!

Scrounging up Leftovers

Sometimes when you are driven to spin something, and all you have at hand are leftovers from other projects, you create something quite wonderful and unexpected. I love how this yarn shifts from coils, to standard ply to crazy plied. The colors and textures are continually shifting throughout the yarn.

Worked on dying and printing a piece of fabric this week that I've cut into smaller sections for working into mixed-media art quilts, ATC's, Postcards, etc. This is only one section. To see more visit my flickr page.

Check out Weaving Works next time you are in the Seattle area. They have an amazing selection of yarn and fiber. I had a very limited time when I was there and felt so overwhelmed. Make sure you have at least a couple of hours to kill, otherwise you are just torturing yourself.
