Comments on: I’ve been slacking… http://www.sarahspins.com/archive/2007/02/19/ive-been-slacking/ spinning, knitting, and some other stuff too :) Wed, 30 Jun 2010 13:42:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Sarah http://www.sarahspins.com/archive/2007/02/19/ive-been-slacking/comment-page-1/#comment-34 Sarah Mon, 19 Feb 2007 21:43:39 +0000 http://www.saraheaster.com/wp/2007/02/19/ive-been-slacking/#comment-34 The merino/tussah was was rose garden I think? Not sure.. I'd have to look at the tag. I also got some merino/kid mohair blend, in clematis vine. I do like that one :D I only bought 4oz of each.. just wanted something different to play with. I'm drownling in BFL, Targhee, Corriedale (I think I have about 6lbs stashed away waiting to be dyed...) and my fleeces.. but it's nice sometimes to not have to plan something out ;) I'm really liking how the merino/tussah spins, it drafts like a dream, the colors just aren't what I was expecting - that doesn't make it bad exactly, I was just hoping for soemething a little different. I should have saved the rest of the "evil merino" and sent it to you - then you'd know why I called it evil! LOL! I'm also waiting on some Silk Hankies.. they were supposedly shipped two weeks ago, and if they don't show up with the mail tomorrow I am gonna start questioning the seller about where the heck they are. They're coming from Canada, but still.. most packages from Canada only take a week, not two or more (and it's been more than two weeks since I ordered) The merino/tussah was was rose garden I think?

I loved the colors on it. They looked so vibrant! I find it amusing you just got some Merino/Tussah from SB. I just got an order of the same last week! That, and some targhee. Not tons of each... really just to try them. I had heard such good things about her fibers, that I just wanted to get a little before the prices went up. So, which colorway did you get? Is it "roses for you"? If it is, I've actually seen some spun up versions of it on the internet, and it did turn out wonderfully, so keep up hope! I kept thinking about getting that, but ended up deciding to get Chocolate cover cherries instead. That, and Blueberry patch for the Targhee.
