The green Rambouillet was skeined and washed.  It&#8217;s now hanging up to dry.  I also got started on a braid of beautiful BFL from Poppy Flower Fibers (now Wabi Sabi Yarns).]]></description>

As I started spinning my singles, I noticed that the colors seem to have gotten distinctly neon.  [...]]]></description>
