This is a new base yarn I am adding to my range, a super~floofy Superwash Aran weight yarn, which I am calling Flump Aran... as it's pretty much the same as Flump Sock...just thicker ;)

This 400g will be going into the shop update on Saturday night...just to see how it goes :)

Pics, as promised :D

I bought this roving, Superwash Corriedale, in its undyed state from CapistranoFiberArts on etsy…

Its a really thirsty fibre, the dye struck very quickly on it….but I am very pleased with how it all turned out :)

There’s about 180g in this colourway, all ready to be spun into self striping sock yarn :D

A fist full of sock yarn :)

I had a play with kettle dyeing in my slow cooker yesterday, which was a lot of fun.....

The base yarn is Wendy Merino superwash 4 ply in white.....

I dyed them all a solid colour first, then squirted on other colours once the dyepot was good and steamy. The dyes exhausted immediately, because of the fact that the yarn was superwash, and also 'cos of the heat.....


Here's the results anyway......they'll be going into my etsy shop at some point this week :)
