| Red Maple Sportswear's Eco Cap -- Over-dyed by me! |
I was supposed to put the lights on the Christmas tree and vacuum today. Instead, I overdyed a few of Red Maple Sportswear's Eco Caps (alpaca blended with color-grown cotton) for a customer who has 3 children. She loved the original hat, but all 3 in Oatmeal just wouldn't cut it. Since I had a few more hats available, I dyed these, too!
Only "Mountain Aqua" remains.

| Lla-Hua-Su Fulling Yarn |
This yarn has been specially designed using my llama Annalee's fiber along with some huacaya and suri alpaca. As sweet as she is, Annalee's fiber is too scratchy to be worn next to the skin, but it's perfect for knitting and fulling slippers, stuffed animals, handbags, etc. I've also knitted my husband a pair of fuzzy socks!

We blended my alpaca fiber with my friend Kathy Jarvis' cormo sheep wool, added bamboo for luster and nylon for extra durability. The beauty of this yarn is it's great for mittens and hats too!

| Nostepinde -- Scandinavian Ball Winder |
This is a handy tool every knitter will want to find in her knitting bag. It's much easier to knit using pull-from-the-center balls -- no more balls rolling under the sofa! But it's not always convenient to set up a swift and mechanical ball winder. Instead, I drape the skein around my knees and begin to wrap the yarn around the nostepinde.
These nostepindes are handcrafted of cherry by a local alpaca farmer.
