Thing I'm finally getting around to soaking.
The copper single is Merino. Nothing super special other than it's gorgeous and a pleasure to spin.
About two years ago I purchased a pound of "mystery fiber" from Paradise Fibers. Never been disappointed by them and always up for a bargain. I wish I had pictures of this act against the dyeing gods. It was all primary colors in the most random of patterns and colors and this roving... gods above and below. I just knew it was never going to be something I loved, or wanted to spin, or even look at.
Enter spawn. The kid had been wanting to learn how to blend fibers on the blending board. Not my most favorite thing, but I have two boards (natch) so I was showing the spawn how to create rolags... but not with any of my fancy fiber.
The kid blended the most gorgeous rolags with the ugliest of fiber and has gifted them to me as they appear. They look like sunsets and autumn and trees with gorgeous foliage. Blending fiber is like blending paint I guess.
So that's the story of those singles.
Ended up with 332 yards of this and have ideas, something that can be gifted back to the kid. Our first (hopefully not last) joint creation!
Also, when I say my kid has an eye for color, this is what I mean. The natural color theory that appears to be innate is magical.
