Orifice Hooks in Shop Now!

I am completely in love with my newest product.

Orifice Hooks. Those little hooks used with spinning wheels to pull yarn through a little guide hole.

The little loop at the top allows you to hang the hook or to add a larger yarn loop to hang the orifice hook right on your spinning wheel.

I have to give credit where it's due. Marilyn of Black Sheep Woolies in Custer, SD had a booth next to me at the North Country Fiber Festival last fall and she couldn't find her orifice hook. She scoured every vendor's booth and couldn't find one for sale! What a shame, I thought! Next year, I vowed to be bette prepared. ;) And voila! Thanks for the inspiration Marilyn!

Who Wants a Sneak Peek?

Dyeing my latest batch of yarn has been going very slowly. The whole crew here has been sick, which means no one is sleeping and everyone is cranky. Cranky 9 month olds mean Mom isn't getting any sleep OR any time for herself. Hopefully we're in the downswing and I can get back to it very soon.

I have managed to get a few skeins dyed though. Wanna see? I thought you might...





The top three skeins are self-striping and the bottom skein is variegated. Not all have names yet, but I'm working on it! Hopefully these and more will be posted sometime next week if I can get my family healthy again sometime soon.
