Ebay findings received today

I received these today from an ebay seller. I'm thinking they'll be perfect for embroidery since it's so beautifully fine. They are all variegated, though not quite as colourful as expected. It's a gamble when buying wool online!

Flowers, I see flowers in this.

Hmmmm, fall leaves on a tree perhaps? Fall'ish flowers?

There is a barely discernible lavender in this. I see Queen Anne's lace.

Last but not least, the felted handbag I listed on etsy today. Yes, being the first day of winter, it makes sense to list such a springy bag, does it not?! Am I in denial?? Must be. ;-)

The flowers are Koolaid dyed wool. I dyed very small skeins, removing them at different times. Towards the end, there was mostly blue left in the water and I threw in a fresh skein. It gave it a very blueish pale purple. It's amazing the variety of colour you can get in grape Koolaid alone!

Your bags are so amazing! I am very envious of your talent. Also how do you make so many in such a short time? You shoudl sell them!

Why thank you Allison! I often have bags that are partially finished, and bags that are on the needles. Even so, I feel like they take so long to get from start to finish!

Thanks for the encouragement to sell them, because that's exactly what I do! :-)

Pretty yarns! I love your bags. I am so inspired by your bag makings and creations and will be making one after I get my Christmas knitting done. The hardest part is in deciding which one to make!

How do you like the jojoland yarn? I just bought some online and was wondering. Great colors you got.

I haven't used the jojoland yarn yet, it's sitting as part of my stash! :P
