Some new colorways

WOW!!!!! I guess I'm not so good at this blog thing, its been like a year. I real am going to try and get better, I swear. Maybe I just think my life isn't that exciting or maybe I am just to tired at the end of the day. I think its a combination of both. The mill is doing great. We tried our hand at adding spinning, but I have decided to keep to roving. With no employee's it just was not feasible to add the spinning and keep my wait list down. I want to offer the fastest turn around I can so I am going to do what I love the best and that is custom roving, pin drafted roving, and batts as well as dyeing including handpainted fibers. Here are some recent photos for some hand painted roving that are/were on my Etsy store.

This one is one of my favs- Strawberry Fields :)

Holiday Feast another one that spins up totally different than it looks as roving.

This one doesn't have a name yet, but I love it ;)

intro to Dandy-lions

Hello and Welcome to Dandy-lions. I've always known how to sew, but it wasn't until I had my girls  that I realized how much fun it is. I love how all the "new" patterns aren't that PIA tissue paper but real paper. Another awesome thing is that you can get lots of patterns emailed you. Some people might not like this because they have to tape them together, but I love them because they are right there on our puter and you can print it out as many times as you like for all the different sizes. Here are a few of the many things that I've made.



 I have had some local interest in some of the items that I've made so I've decided to open up an Etsy Store. I am hoping to have it up and running by Monday maybe even earlier, but I'm not pushing it since I have lots to do this weekend to get it ready to go.
