Almost Ready

                                     

        Much of today was spent preparing for the 5-Counties seminar on Saturday.  I was washing out handpainted warps and Don was washing out some skeins, as well as continuing to wind off yarn onto half pound tubes.  It was a glorious day outside, perfect for drying yarn, thank goodness.  We have everything ready to start packing up tomorrow.  Now it's time to check signs and handouts, the paperwork.  The yarn you see in the photo is handpainted 3/5 Tencel.  We are experimenting with this 3/5 weight, both for weaving and for knitting.  We asked the mill to twist the 3/5 for us to try out before ordering any large quantity.  We have about 20 pounds on hand if anyone else wants to try it out.  It dyes well, as does all the Tencel yarn. Later this evening I'll knit a swatch to see how it behaves.
