Plying Otter Pop Lilly!

Lilly turned out to be 300 yards of lovely yarn, with a bit of a halo. I would guess this is DK or sport weight yarn and I love the colors that my daughter made from otter pop dying.  I am wondering what to knit with Lilly's yarn!  Lilly is a Leicester from Mary Beth's farm in the upper peninsula of Michigan. 

Otter Pop Leicester!

More otter pop dyed fiber, this wool is from Mary Beth's Leicester sheep, Lilly!  Well done Lilly!  Well done youngest daughter that was the maestro otter pop dyer!

Nice work!  Now, what can I knit with 186 yards of happy yarn?!

Kool Aid Dying!

Inspired by Vinita at our knitters' retreat, daughter and I decided to spend the afternoon dying with Kool Aid.  This fiber is from Mary Beth's farm in Upper Michigan, her sheep, Seldon the Corriedale.

Love 2-ply Earl!

Love how the 2-ply is turning out, soft and even... and lovely! 

Earl's second bobbin!

Earl is such a softie as far as fiber goes - I can't wait to ply this small bit of paradise fiber!  Thanks again to Mary Beth, my Michigan fiber supplier! :)

Hello Earl!

Earl the Ram, from Mary Beth's farm in Michigan, she says he is a feisty ram, and only alive due to his soft fiber. Yes, Earl is very soft and a lovely spin, I am glad Mary Beth has kept him around and not put him in the stew pot!
