Warning: May Spinning Club Spoiler at the bottom of this post! :-D

A couple photos of new fibers, going up in the shop today or tomorrow:

White Masham, from Great Britain:

It's more of a vanilla/golden white than the photo shows ... even my new camera doesn't quite cooperate with the different shades of white (although it's way better). Masham is a lustrous longwool, long-stapled fiber originating in the Northern Counties in England, and is a cross between a Teeswater ram onto either a Dalesbred or Swaledale ewe, both hardy hill breeds.

Brown Rambouillet, from the US:


With interesting gray bits here and there. Not as soft as other Rambouillet I've had before, but very nice nonetheless.

Polwarth, from the Falkland Islands, blended with baby alpaca, baby camel, suri alpaca, silk, yak, cashmere:


This fiber has more tan, brown and gray bits in than the photo shows. It's lovely, and very soft.

They, along with the rest of the fibers not yet up, should be in the shop this afternoon or tomorrow.

May spinning club fiber (100% Bluefaced Leicester, either mixed brown/white or superwash):

This is the first time I've dyed the mixed bluefaced leicester fiber, and it surprised me a bit. There is more variation between dyelots than I'm accustomed to, even though I mixed all the dye at one time and applied it fairly consistently. So, some braids have more tans and darker colors, others less purple and more blue, and more of the brighter blue. Not sure why, but working with a new fiber always hold some surprises.

I do also have quite a bit left over of both of these fibers, so if anyone is interested in purchasing more just email me. I may also do a contest for several braids over on Ravelry again, just for fun.
