Hello Again

I didn't mean to go six months without updating! Oh sweet yarny blogosphere, how very long it's been.

I was forced to graduate and get a "real person" job, which all in all, kind of rocks.

But, you can now find Drama Llama Knitting Company on Ravelry. (So if you've knit anything with Drama Llama yarns, please let me know, I'd love to see the finished product!)

So since it's been a long time, here's what I've been up to:

Hand-dyed Romney by Spunky Eclectic

Handspun by me.

Spun from dye-soppers purchased at "Knotty By Nature" in Victoria, BC

Merino - Hand-dyed and Hand-spun

Local Alpaca from Vancouver Island carded with Silk Noil and plyed with East Freisan Lamb

100% Alpaca grown and hand-dyed from Little Patch Alpacas. So delightfully soft.

And some that I've yet to put up in the shop.

I've also dyed a line of ice-cream inspired sock yarn that should be available (perhaps locally) in the New Year. Here's a taste:

As for the future, there's a whole lot going on. I'll be working on my first three regular color lines in 100% wool.

I've also got a large amount of mohair, alpaca, angora, and cotswald that I can't wait to spin!

I've been making christmas presents like crazy, so hopefully in January I'll be spinning up a storm.

In the meantime, here's a hot tip. This iconic Vancouver veggerie is the inspiration for one of my new colorways:
