HUGE POST: Stuff for Sale and Nature

First the Nature part of this posting.
This hawk or falcon, lives in a tree behind my house, or even in our yard somewhere.  We hear it every dusk calling to someone or on the hunt in our backyard.  Today it decided to land on the top of our trampoline netting and just sit there.  STUNNING! But, after I took the pictures, I discovered that I had my settings on the very smallest of files so it didn't turn out as clear as I wanted it to. Pretty anyway!

Then this morning we were greeted with about three or four Charlotte's Web's out back and I captured a few, and this is my favorite. I like Garden Spiders.  They are my VERY favorite, and GREAT weavers to boot.  Looks like she had a successful night.  As I am writing this I notice that she has already de-constructed her web and moved on for the day...

I've got some things for sale because of the move and boy would it help me out if you could advertise this around on your own blogs, because my husband is DYING with how much I have (am I fiber obsessive?) and I really do need to get rid of these things.

First I have just fresh back from the processor some roving. I am only charging what it took to process, not what the actual fleece cost me.  Again, trying to de-stash, and don't make fun of me for how much I have....

=========================================================================

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Rovings First~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

American Rambouillet from Bluestem Farm= $2.50 oz.  AMAZINGLY soft, has a short staple, and a little bit bumpy.  Makes a VERY nice worsted, to bulky yarn and if you're really a good spinner, I bet you could get something finer.  This huge fleece was last years Champion Fleece All Over. I've kept two large bags for myself. If you buy all the bags you'll get a huge discount - we can work something out.

Bag 1= 1.8 lbs.

Bag 2= 3.6 lbs.

Bag 3= 2.3 lbs.

Bag 4= 1.6 lbs.

Bag 5= 1.6 lbs.

Bag 6= 1.10 lbs.

Bag 7= 1.2 lbs.

Bag 8= 1.7 lbs.

Here is the fiber where you can see some of the little noils or neps? TOTALLY to dye(!) for soft...

All the bags are processed into roving like this as seen below.

=========================================================================
BIO-CLIP Merino. 18.5 Micron Count.  Read about The Bio-Clip Method HERE  and HERE. I purchased three fleeces from a shepherd in New Zealand. Extreemly soft. Short staple length, also neppy noily.  $2.50 oz. As you know the lower the micron count the softer it is, and guys, this stuff is soft! Contains light VM as seen in the photo below.

Bag 1= 1.7+ lbs.
Bag 2= 1.7+ lbs
Bag 3= 1.8 lbs.

I also have one unprocessed BIO-CLIP fleece from the same shepherd. Warniing - full of VM. Ask me if you are interested.

===========================================================================

Manos de Urguay. (hope I spelled that right) All rolled into cakes from full skeins.  Much more maroon in color than I captured here. I have knit one skein into the start of the back of a sweater, and then started another skein.  You will recieve it as is. Hey, you can pick up where I left off! 9 skeins, 135 yds each.  Bought at $13 each, asking $8 each, so $72 total SOLD

Thanks for looking you guys. And, please, I shamelessly beg you to spread the word about my sale.  If you think my prices are too high, make me an offer, I need to get it out of here. 

Have a GREAT day!

Dude, dibs on the mountain colors sock yarn!

I was with you at Lorraine's when you bought some of that stuff, that seems like just yesterday but it was quite a while ago, wasn't it?

See you tomorrow!

[Ansley]

!!! I want both rowanspuns! e-mail me! paypal?

[Vera]

I'm interested in the Ashland Bay sampler roving. Please e-mail me.

[Mary-Kay]

I've emailed all three of you or left comments on your sites! Thanks guys!

[kristi]

okay, i want the manos, the ozark mountain stuff, and the pinky alpaca you dyed. plus i'll take some roving, but i'm happy with leftovers after everyone else chooses.

you're not ready to part with one of your wheels are you?

oh, and i was hoping i'd see you last friday! i'll be absent the 18th and the 23rd.

oh and ssk is slip knitwise, slip knitwise, stick the left hand needle back into both stitches (from left to right), then knit them together. (slants left)

ssp = (on the wrong/purl side) slip knitwise, slip knitwise, return sts to left needle, keeping them twisted, then purl them together through the back loops. This is an amped up version of p2tog tbl.

slip knitwise to twist the stitch, when you are using it as part of a decrease or something. otherwise, slip purlwise. purlwise slipping is just moving the stitch over... it won't twist it.

Dibs on the Odyssey!

Wow! I'd love to get some roving. I'd be interested in the Ashland Bay Khaki and might be interested in the Peacock, but I need to run it by my husband to be sure he's okay with me spending that much. Thanks!

[Sara]

I'll take the Nistok Farms Columbia and Columbia Alpaca if they're still available - ! Wheels, what wheels???? :)

[Vera]

I got the sample rovings the other day. They are beautiful.

Also, thanks for the extra roving and the Kool Aid. It may get me to do some dyeing too.

Well, too little too late I see...I stumbled upon your blog just in time to see you sold out of pretty much everything *heavy sigh inserted here*

Yummy yarn & goodies to drool over however!
