I’ve Received my Fibery Goodness Swap package from my partner Trinette (Tr3n1ty of Ravelry blogging at Purely Whimsical)! She lives in Alaska so she sent along some specialty treats with the fiber and yarn. Here is the eye candy:
My fibery goodness treats include:
Alaskan Fireweed Honey
Alaska Wildberry Products: Wild Salmonberry Jelly
Alaska Wild Teas: Alaskan Wild Rose Tea (Some of this is coming to work with me today.)
A beautiful card of three bears sitting on a red autumn tundra.
A skein of her handspun – beautiful oranges, reds, and rusts. I think she Navajo plied it and it appears to be bulky weight. I’m brainstorming yummy plans for it now.
2 batts of multicolored fiber from Artemis Artemis. It has gorgeous, scrumptious colors in it. There are greens, yellows, oranges, and chocolate browns. There looks like there is some sparklely, coppery, angelina in there too. The thing that really sets it off and makes it exceptional is the smidgen of light sky blue. Just perfect!
Thank you so much Trinette!!!!

Wow, how fun! It’s all very autumny, isn’t it?
Did you notice that your swap partner posted a message yesterday that it is snowing where she lives! Yikes.
I’m so glad you like the package
I’m not especially fond of autumnal colors (funny, because I LOVE autumn colors on the trees), so it was really hard for me to find something good.
That tea is so tasty! I had to buy some for myself to try too, had it yesterday and loved it.
Oh – the yarn is navajo plied, and I think it’s around 100 yards. I always think I should label them but I never seem to do it
! It was 4.125 oz of superwash Merino roving from WillowAcreFibers on Etsy.com.
Great package, love the wool colors.
