New Handpainted Merino Rovings on Etsy.com

Well it has being a while since posting. I have been busy creating new colorways for my rovings. Spring is here and I change the way I designed the colorway. Sometime, I suprise myself, as I never know how two colors will collide with each others. Which is a nice suprise when they do blend so well together.

I'm posting pictures and information here, so if you would like to buy the rovings  you can just send me an e-mail to knitspin@mindspring.com with your selection. I take paypal, so an e-mail that is attached to your paypal account would be great if you would like to purchased the items.

Hi Everyone,

In my search for a new fiber, I have found a new fiber to add to my etsy store.


The new fiber is a very soft mix of 49% Bamboo (Rayon), 28% Wool and 23% Alpaca fiber. This fiber it is very soft to the touch. I have listed 4 oz of White fiber in the shop. I will be dyeing some later on and will post pictures of it.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year 2010!!!!!!!

We have started a new year ......2010.

With this new year we are starting a new blog. Here we will mention things that I make. I hand dye yarns, roving, and I also have an online store. I am also an official dealer for Louet as well.

My Etsy shop is called Knitspin and here is the link: http://www.knitspin.etsy.com/.

The shop was established on Etsy in August of 2005, and we are one of the elders of the Etsy community. Here we sell items including yarns, rovings, and other and knitting and spinning related products, hence our name Knitspin.

We are also working on our website http://www.knitspin.com/ as well.
The link is currently pointing to the etsy shop, but when the site is complete, our website will have a lot more items including Louet spinning wheels and other products. Once http://www.knitspin.com/ is published I will let you know via this blog.

I will be adding pictures later on once I figure out how to make those.

Happy New Year to everyone in blog land.
