I created a similar blend previously and have also put in a photo of the yarns I spun from that blend so you can have a better idea of how this blend should look when spun into yarn.

Newest Colorway - Chocolate Berries




My newest colorway is Chocolate Berries - rich chocolately colors of chestnut and brown along with berry colors of russet, vermillion and burgundy - on luxurious soft fibers: Merino & Silk, Merino & Kid Mohair, Merino & Bamboo and Superwash Merino & Tencel. These look good enough to eat...but I don't recommend it, even if your doctor DID tell you to add a little more fiber to your diet! But, adding these to your spinning and felting fiber diet is perfectly satisfactory!
These are all available in my etsy store: http://www.splitrockranch.etsy.com/.

Happy Holidays everyone!
