Welcome to my blogspot!

I finally managed to go online with my shop on treasureayland.etsy.com where I sell my treasures :-)

Until last week I spun my yarns on two wheels, a wonderful small and squeaking wheel (which I bought from a friend who had too many wheels) and an Ashford traveller wheel – then my third wheel arrived. Yes, a third one. An Ashford again, I didn´t think I´d win the auction on ebay.

Since then, I spent a whole week cleaning and sandpapering it, as it was in an awful condition when it arrived (some parts were broken and extremely dirty). But now it´s finished and looks like new born:-D

And here comes my latest project: an Avalon yarn.

It consists of throwsters waste (silk) and super extra soft merino wool.





Beads of pure silver, rose quartz and mountain crystal are spun in. It was really hard work to make out of this fuzzy mess of silk yarn, but it was worth it. Soon on etsy!
