Check it out.
I took a little detour and did some of this for the first time.
Puesta Del Sol & Harlot’s Mums
People have asked me why I haven’t been dyeing roving and to be honest? Up until now it totally intimidated me. The other day I was talking with someone when I had a major *a-hah* moment. Our new grill has a separate burner where I can steam roving and yarn! I refuse to do any of this stuff in the house which is another reason why I haven’t played around with this yet. I know that sounds weird but I just don’t want my kitchen to turn into my dye room if I can help it. I picked up some roving at the shop yesterday, soaked it today in some Aquae and it was ready to go. It was my first time using the Soak and I absolutely love how it smells. Even while the roving was steaming I could smell it. Besides these two I also did a Socktoberfest and a Death Eaters. Miss Lime gets first choice as I promised my first hand-dyed roving to her, and then the other 3 will be for sale. I’ll get the price and details up once I know which ones are available. Now I can’t wait to see someone spin with it. Is this something you would like to see up in the shop from me? If enough people want it, I’ll definitely do more of it. I’ll still carry Pippi’s roving though!

Oh, it looks great! If I didn’t already have more roving than I can spin, I’d snag some!!
Wow! Gorgeous. I would absolutely love to see roving in the shop.
I just need to figure out how to work my spindle….GORGEOUS roving, Scout.
It looks great!
You evil temptress, you!
Damn you. I am not a spinner. Yet. Don’t cause me to become one.
Fantastic! I’m just a baby drop-spinner, so I’m not sure if I could do your roving justice at the time, but I’m getting better everyday, so I’d love to see it in the shop!
You are making me want to spin, and I don’t know how! I think I’ll ask for a spindle for Christmas along with my bag, the Soak, and whatever else I find while surfing the swag…
Yeah Roving! This is awesome, and I would love to see it in the shop. Looks like it came out great.
Here it is 9:30 pm and now I want to go running for the dye pot, dyes and some wool. Bad, Scout, Bad!
Mmm, I really like that roving. I definitely encourage you to do more!
They look so beautiful! Very nice color combos. I can’t wait to see someone spin this up!
Ohhhh - it looks gorgeous! I’d lovelovelove to see roving in your shop!
I would love it if your hand-dyed roving was available in the shop. It looks fantastic!
Oh! Is there anything you’re not talented at? Gorgeous!
I would totally, totally buy roving. Especially the yellow. Yum.
Love the roving, you did a good job! That’s Harlot’s Mum’s is especially gorgeous. It’s cool to see your colors in a different medium…I’m curious to see what those will look like spun up.
Jamie, you’ve done a wonderful job!!!! The room is waiting for you - we just have to
get the people into your’e class. Maybe you should try a class in roving. I particulary
love the Puesta del Sol. Maybe I can spin some into a yarn for you - no time limit.
