Finished this last week, but was feeling too lazy to take a picture. It's 100% Corridale wool, measuring at 204 yards of 2 ply sport weight(ish) yarn. I really do love these colors, they just make me happy.

Three freshly carded sparkly batts are laid out. The left one is mostly a mix of purple, blue, and green, the middle one is mostly a mix of pink, yellow, and orange, and the right one is mostly a mix of grey, black, and pink.
The batts from the previous photo are now made into twenty four little fluffy batt sliver nests.

A pile of fibre tops on a desk all labelled up. The fibre tops are hand dyed in deep red, brown and black.
Labelling is one of the less creative aspects of an indie dyer, but it is necessary and an opportunity to catch up on podcasts or audiobooks.

Thought I’d show you some more fibre that’s RTS… this is Candy Rainbow on a custom blended base of Humbug BFL (grey & white) and Tussah Silk, it’s a delight to spin! There are four 100g braids available (at the time of posting 🥰).
