Finding inspiration in fiber, texture, color and good old fashioned handcrafting

Cayenne
Here is "Cayenne". It's hot, but in the right proportion adds just the right touch to spice up your spinning.
I love how this roving came out. It looks even better spun up. The colors blend beautifully into subtle shades of red/orange and yellow. Bright, but not at all overpowering.
As with most of my painted rovings, I spun this navaho 3-ply, and am thoroughly smitten with the results.
The blueface leicester, which I spun semi-worsted, has such a lovely hand to it, and it's so soft. I can't wait to make something out of this yarn! Hmmmmm, the question is, what does this yarn want to be??? (picture coming soon!)

Your handpainted roving is just absolutely beautiful. I have recently experimented with my own, and seeing yours does give inspiration! Thanks.
