Hand Dyed Yarn, five new one of a kind colorways.

May is generally a slow month, allowing us to slowly get ready for the summer season.  This year the trees and flower leaves were so early and inspired me to dye the New Greens pictured earlier.  At the same time the flowers were racing to see which could bloom first.  This colorway is based on the Crocus Flowers which of course, is its name.

This is one of the 5 new hand dyed colorways added to the shop and website. http://www.marrhaven.com/handyedyarn3.html

Needle Felt Sculpture

A few weeks ago I shared a photo of a needle felted purse by Teri Jackson of Georgia, since then Teri has taken needle felting to a whole new level.  She says what started as a hobby has developed into a business.

This is Zander, he is a warrior from the planet Zocor.  Teri admits she gets quite attached to her sculptured dolls, even writes stories about them when she sell them.


Teri's doll and animal characters are all impressive.  You can see them on etsy.   http://www.etsy.com/shop/FreeSpiritFelts?ref=pr_shop_more

I just love it when others get involved with felting in any form and especially when it becomes a passion for them.
