Just to say I am posting even as I "blog" new Handspun Hand dyed yarn for sale on ebid! Ebid ID: two sisters, our store is two sisters thrift and gift, so check it out if you need some beautiful handspun yarn.
First, I MAKE all my yarn. I DYE all my yarn. I do NOT, as some people do, buy commerical made yarn and then "hand paint" it and call it my own.
This is something that dedicated handspinners do NOT do. That is just for the record so be careful when buying as I have seen a lot of this posted on the "hand made" Art sites.
Any knitter, weaver or needle artist knows the difference between good hand made hand spun yarn and the so called "I painted this myself" being that they bought commerical made yarn and then just threw it in a dye pot. These people often give the allusion that the yarn is "Handspun" by them, by NOT putting in that it is store bought.
My rant and rave on people misrepresenting handspun yarn. Anyone can buy yarn and "hand dye" it! The real art is when you spin yarn.
