* I have 3 different colors of roving that I dyed a couple months ago. One is a hot pink, one is a neon green and the other is a bluish purple. I think I will try to spin/ply them all together and hopefully get something kind of Noro-esque. (EDITED TO ADD: I think this fiber is out! I started spinning a bit of it, just to see how it would turn out. It appears that the fiber felted slightly during dyeing and is a little hard to work with. I will keep working on it until TdFleece -- as "training" -- but it will not be part of the competition.) (EDITED AGAIN TO ADD PHOTO)
* Last month at the Great Lakes Fiber Show I took a spinning class with Carol McFadden (she has an Etsy shop called feistywomandesigns). She made some batts in shades of blue that she calls "Eboni's Blues" (yep, after me!) I bought 8 oz of that and can't wait to spin it up. See the photo. Pretty, huh? (N.B.: This is Carol's photo, not mine)
* I was able to get my hands on some Corriedale from Hello Yarn fiber club from Feb 2010. The colorway is called Seasick ... Blues, browns and golden yellows.
* And finally, a superwash merino/bamboo blend from Fiber Optic Yarns in the colorway Besame Mucho.
I'm not sure what else might end up in my TdF queue, but I want to get started NOW!!!!!
Ciao,
