Nikola Tesla

Someone already bought this even before I could talk about it here. You snooze, you lose!

Fear not, though, another blue one will be up soon.

The Drum Carder

Here's a shot of the official JSH Appalachian Voodoo drum carder in all its glory, in the midst of a frenzied battin' session.

Queen

Not named after the band Queen (though they're cool too) but just in a general spirit of queenliness.

It could be yours.

(I pride myself on having perfect color reproduction in my photos, but there's just something spooky about this deep-purple hand-dyed merino that just defies accurate duplication on camera, for some reason. The actual color is a darker, deeper, velvety royal purple.)

Noiliness!

Silk noils I dyed a few months ago...

The Great Pumpkin

Went to The Woolery at their new Frankfort location today! Even though they aren't actually open for business yet, they let me come in and buy some goodies, like Soy Silk, Camel Down, Llama.... great stuff.

I immediately came home and whipped up this batt, which is 2.1 ounces of Merino, Soy Silk, Camel Down, Llama, Yak, Icicle, Angelina, Silk, Silk Noils, and Lincoln.

Jelly Nougat

Remember those "jelly nougat" candies, the round chewy things with bits of colorful gel stuff pockmarked all over it? They weren't very good candies, but they sure were purty, and this batt reminded me of them.

Psst... hey mister, I'll sell it to you...

As Jerry Lee Lewis once drunkenly bellowed, "Git it, git it, git it".

Coloratura

This is another of those "everything but the kitchen sink" batts I love so well - the very best kind for artsy spinning and felting!

Own it.

Cherry Sisters

As you may know, I'm currently obsessed with the vaudeville act known as The Cherry Sisters. I dedicate this peachy pair of batts to them.

Blue Bunny

Not only is Blue Bunny my favorite off-brand sandwich bread, it's also one of my favorite Daniel Clowes comic stories. And now it's also a lovely vibrant cornflower-colored fiber batt that's heavy on the glitz and bamboo. Dig.

Belle and Sebastian

A yummy pair of batts, made of lavender-purple-violet Merino and white Silk Noils. Git here and git 'em.

Shredded Money

I purchased this somewhere online, I forget where now. It's shredded U.S. currency, made from genuine uncut sheets of dollar bills discarded by the U.S. Treasury Department. They make a nice addition to any out-there art yarn. Look for a batt on my Etsy shop soon, to be made entirely of unconventional materials including this.

Pink Bamboo

Bamboo I dyed to a pungently cotton candy-ish shade of pink. I tried to eat it but it just wasn't the same.

Easter Egg

It's Eggier than thou!

See it, view it, love it, own it here.

Sweeney Todd

Let my Sweeney Todd batt conjure up the treat batts used to be. Get it here.
