Rainbows are GO!

After much self-doubt and all out war with my printer, I've decided to launch my hand-dyed yarn business. All my products are hand dyed by me and are thus very quirky. I love to let the colours run together and don't care about perfection. Hand-made is hand-made to me and should really look like it's held together with love and not manufactured on a machine. This I have learned the hard way...

That being said, I do use a knitting machine to make my banks, but it is powered by me and is a fairly aerobic work-out. I am still finding my groove, so no yarn or style is set and all open to useful suggestions. At this point it is all experimentation and this is reflected in the prices.

So here we go....
 Postage is extra on all items.
Two 100g worsted single ply rainbows - $20 each These were dyed at the same time, so could be used to make a single project.
 One 8ply Woolganic rainbow - 183g. The red is more plum/burgundy. $25
One 10ply/Worsted Uruguay 3ply rainbow - about 96g. This has the darker red. $20
Rainbow with pink niblets - seven skeins of 48-50g semi-solid colours. One in 10ply/Worsted Single and one in 10ply/Worsted Three Ply. $40
Undyed blanks:

100g 10ply/Worsted 3 Ply - $12 each They are roughly 45cm x 60cm. I found best results came when they were gently washed before being soaked for dyeing.
5 available

If you would like to buy any of my offerings, please e-mail me at sheepyandmooms@gmail.com. Paypal is preferred, although I'll accept direct deposit for Australian Customers.

Custom Orders?
I am open to custom orders, although the turn around may be slow as I am still deciding what yarns to stock. I have a small stash of Woolganic 8, 10 and 12 ply as well as some 100pure 3ply.
