Hand dyed yarn

I have been hand dyeing yarn lately. I'm very happy with those.

This is Icelandic wool and it is great for lace pattern.

This one is Sock yarn and is now for sale in my new Etsy shop :)

And the turquoise and brown yarn is also Icelandic wool and is lace weight. I love that one :)

Finished shawl

Now I have finished knitting my own hand dyed and hand spun shawl. It looks good :)

No Fuss Shade Love Shawl

Now I'm spinning this brown and golden Shetland wool. It is taking ages because my work and life is taking a lot of my spinning time.

I also started to knit Andrea's shawl but I don't like the yarn I'm using and I have to choose another one. I just ordered new dye colors and maby I'll just wait until I they arrive here and dye some wool to use in that shawl.

I have been making experience in dyeing sock yarn and wool yarn and I like it. Photos later ;)

Knitting and dyeing

I have been dyeing today. I dyed some Einband which

is single spun icelandic wool from Istex. I just LOVE how it turned out. What a lovely colors.

This is a single spun Sethland wool.

This look nice. I have already started to knit a shawl from it.

Waiting for the green color to show up. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Old rose

This is my project right now. These colors remind me of rose. I'm going to knit something nice of it :) I think it will be beautiful.

Here is my 9 year old daughter in the company of Grýla and Leppalúði witch are the parents of the icelandic julelads. This photo is taken in Akureyri a month ago. That couple are not nice one, they like to eat children.

Single thread

This is my first single thread. I LOVE IT! :) I can't wait to start spinning my next roving ;)

Done :)

Finally I finished this one! It took ages to spin it. My work also did get in the way ;) I'm happy with it, it turned out better than I expected. It will probably end as nice socks. Now I'm doing some fractal spinning witch is very exiting.

It is getting colder here, but the weather is beautiful. The temperature outside now is about 6°C.

Spinning Sethland wool

I dyed some of my new Sethland wool yesterday and I'm not very happy about the colors I got. I guess I have to get some feeling about how to use the colors. This one that I started spinning was supposed to be more olive green. I don't have olive green, I just blended together the colors I had.

This one came out better than I tought it would do. I think this will become a lovely shawl ;)

Im also happy with this one. This will probably become a very nice shawl too ;)
