Art Roving Hackle

It’s HERE!  My much anticipated Art Roving Hackle from Blue Mountain Handcrafts is here.  I have been wanting one of these hackles for quite some time now.  It is a breeze to use.  I have been having lots of fun combining fleeces and fibers and coming up with some awesome rovings.

Roving

The above roving is a blend of Cormo, Coopworth Lamb, Wensleydale lamb, Silk, bamboo rayon, and Angelina.

There was very little waste after I dized off the roving.

The diz I used is one I recently purchased from Seven Yaks on Etsy.  It has several diz hole sizes to choose from.

Look for some Cormo blended rovings in my Etsy and online farm shop soon!

Shop Update- Locks and Top!

New Stuff in the Shop!

There are some new locks (Wensleydale, Kid Mohair, Coopworth Lamb, Shetland) and top in the shop!  Most of the stuff has been stocked in my online farm shop, but I have also listed a few things on my Etsy.  I have not used Etsy much at all (only once about a year ago) and I decided to stock it also.  I do stock different items in each shop.  So be sure to check both of them if you are looking for more of a certain item.  Each shop will also feature one-of-a-kind items too.  I will combine shipping for purchases made in both shops at the same time.  My online farm shop will continue to be the main shop with the majority of stock.

Feathers and Fluff…

posted in: farm, Uncategorized | 0


Every once in a while, I will pick up some feathers from around the farm.  I have guinea fowl.  Their feathers are beautiful and unique.  They do take dye well.  I have dyed a few.  I still have not used them for anything.  I know they work well as an “add in” to art yarn.  I just don’t think I would ever wear anything with feathers in it.
