Look what I found

I used to be a professional weaver until I blew out both shoulders and a disc in my back. I was looking for a particular tablecloth (Still haven't found it) and ran across some leftover handwoven yardage ends. Anyone want some handwoven coat-weight wool, oatmeal and beige stripes, 27 inches wide, 2 yards long? How about some dark teal tweed, about 30 inches by 25? It would make a great tea-cozy, or a poncho for a kid, or a heavy vest, or - geeze, I don't know. It oughta be good for something. If you can think of a good use for it, I'll ship it to you.

I know, I know, pictures would help. But life is an adventure, andd the price is right. If it sounds appealing, why not take a chance?

Lovely warm sunny afternoon yesterday. Jack cat and I took the spinningwheel outside and plied singles. I don't think I'll try dying my roving again. I didn't get it rinsed enough, so lots of excess came off on my hands as I worked, and then when I washed the finished yarn to set the twist, It turned several shades paler. I know there are successful ways to dye roving, but I'm so happy with the results I get dying the finished yarn that I think I'll just stick with that. Time to set up the drying rack in the shade and hang out those mottled pastel blue-green skeins.
