Beach Ball Roving Bring On Summer!



I purchased this beautiful, lofty roving from EthnicityGoddess on Etsy.

Isn't it beautiful! And it has the exact colorations of a beach ball! Pure wool, hand painted with professional dyes and just perfect for Summer. The roving came out to me almost the very next day, so how about that for super fast shipping!

And when I opened it, I knew I had to start spinning it that night. It spun like a dream, and from it I made this:




I named the finished yarn Salt Water Taffy. It's funny how the main colors in roving finish out to something a bit different when it's spun and plyed. When I saw the finished yarn it reminded me of salt water taffy wrapped in pieces of waxed paper.

The yarn is for sale in my shop Bohemia Fibers and is a 200 yard skein for $20.00.

Thanks Julie for some gorgeous hand painted roving! I can't wait for my next purchase.
