Fire! - The
summer of 2003 will long be remembered here in the

their devastating fires, when the mountainside lit up with the candling
pine trees, against the black sky. Lipstick Red, Scarlet,
Fushia,
Burgundy, Blue Red, Christmas Red, with a hint of purpley red and
charred red.
Fire! is
red hot. 100 gram (approx. 3.5 ounces) belly button balls -- $10 Every roving is one of a kind and will not be exactly as pictured. |

This
colourway, Winter
Nights, is inspired by the lumination of the full moon
against a
Winter sky, overlooking a snowy pasture, the whole scene framed in the
silhouette of pine trees and mountain side--this is the view I have
through my studio window tonight, as I sit at my spinning
wheel. Rich jewel tones of burgundy, navy, lapis
lazuli,
fuschia, scarlet, moonlight white, deep true blue, royal purple,
amethyst, indigo, true red. This is a deeper,
richer

Blue Danube Waltz:
Dancing streams tripping along the shoreline, through the meadows
reflect the clouds and blueness of sky in their calm pools. Can you see
the brook trout, hiding in the shadows? True blue, sky blue,
indigo, grey, navy, prussian blue, ultramarine, teal, with
creamy
white, and pastel
blue. A very calm and confident colourway. 100 gram (approx. 3.5 ounces) belly button balls -- $10 |

Cottage
Garden:
Jade, emerald, moss, and grass green, navy, sky blue, ultramarine,
plum, violet, blush, and white like a snowball bush in
Spring.
This reminds me of the spontaeous vernal gardens of old that
burst forth in Spring Violets, Hyacinth, Narcissus, Delphiniums, and
Hydrangeas, the beginning of the Spring garden that keeps blooming, one
flower group after another, right through until frost.
