Ice Queen in the Summer

So I am working on some sock yarn… Ok, it will probably be a little thicker than most sock yarns, I am geussing closer to a sport weight. But, it is a gorgeuos soft superwash wool and nylon blend, and I have called it: “Ice Queen”.

Watch out in the shops for this pretty Lady (after she is done being spun) to come a-visiting.

I can’t wait to see (and show) the finished skein.

As always, check in here for Shop Info for Crystal City Fibers, and at The Beebas’ Bottoms for more general updates about me and my family and crafting.

Yarns, Yarns, and more yarns!

Some of you may know my other blog, currently hosted at beebabottoms.blogspot.com. I am checking out Wordpress, due to the suggestions of friends. If it works out, I’ll continue it, and maybe even consider importing The Beeba’s Bottoms over. If not, not too much of a loss. The intent is to use this blog as a place to showcase my spinning and Dyeing efforts, primarily in relationship to Crystal City Fibers. So, I’ll have updates available here for the shop, and pictures of current work.

With That in mind, some things that will be stocked in the Grand Opening of Indie Dyers Cooperative:

Set of 5 green glass stitch markers

"On The Sweet Side" Handspun Yarn

"Joshua" on Cascade
