New hand-spun yarns

Faith and Alan have made me a new batch of yarn--4 delicious skeins--for some projects I'm dreaming up. Here's what they made:

1.     Approx. 100gms, 35 yds.  Merino thick and thin coils, shells, halos and spirals, with Kate’s hand dyed silk yarn as core and knops.

2.   Approx. 110gms, 25 yds. Merino thick and thin coils, shells and spirals, with Kate’s hand dyed silk yarn as core and knops.

3.   Approx. 115gms, 26 yds. Merino thick and thin coils, shells and spirals, with core/knops of commercial, filigree crochet cotton blend.

4.   Approx. 65gms, 15yds. First clippings of local Romney sheep (we saw these born the previous year). Spun as a lock yarn and plied with a thin hand spun blend of local wool, merino, hand dyed silk and mohair.

I love these yarns! They have changed the name of their small company to Yarns From the Bolt Hole, which has a good ring to it.
