This week has defintitely been one of those "Some good points, Some bad points" kind of weeks. Not to worry, most of the bad points have been along the lines of dealing with a cold, but they're still things that get me down and make it hard for me to do everything I want. So imagine the lovely pick-me-up I got when I found that gorgeous silk roving in my mailbox courtesy of the very fab Marie! (If you don't already listen to Marie's Knit Cast podcast you should! And you can even get them from iTunes if you are an iPod user).
This silk is gorgeous and hand-dyed by Fyberspates. I'm definitely in love. I've wanted to try spinning from pure silk -- and now I am going to get my chance.
I also want to say thank you to Dani, who, kindly helped me find the Ultramerino that I was looking for at her LYS, Lettuce Knit. I am constantly amazed by the kindness of my fellow knit-bloggers. Y'all have definitely made my week.
You are a very lucky girl.
When the page loaded and that picture came up, I quite literally gasped. That silk is beyond gorgeous. Lucky girl indeed.
I hope you feel better soon!
You are so cruel to show us that silk when there is still Christmas knitting to be done! I have undyed silk.
Fyberspates stuff is lovely. That's so pretty. Have fun spinning it.
Wow, that stuff is gorgeous. I hope you'll share pictures of it after it's spun. And I can't wait to see how it knits up, too. Yippee for you!
I am glad I could help!
I don't spin - but that gorgeous silk roving could certainly tempt me to learn. Wow. What will you knit from it after you spin it?
I'm not a spinner, just wish I was, but that is beautiful roving. I love the colors.
