I've had my public-ish studio space in Fiber Company, where i share space with lots of yarns, looms, dust bunnies and five amazing women that love fabric and  yarns as much as I ever will. Where else could I possibly come in and say "OMG is that Black 106" and everyone knows what I am talking about? (FYI, black 106 is just the coolest of the cool Procion MX dyes. I hope I NEVER run out!)

So the month of September marks the 25th anniversary of Fiber Company. I've not been there the whole 25 but a pretty good chunk of it. I date it by Collin's age and he is not there yet. not far away, but not quite there.

I just updated the blog on Fiber Company's blog site.

I don't get to spend as much time there as I'd like but some weeks, like this week, I do get to hang out. Have a baby blanket to (hopefully) give to a grandma who has twin grandkids and needed an extra blanket. I have some experimental warps on that will be all painty and artsy and fun... a break from production, but then, well, it is on for the holiday production line. A few new scarves... I am loving the finer yarns and want to try some wooly ones with texture from structure, and some nice bast ones that are dyed for fun and brightness. And a new ruana wrap. I like wearing all of these things and I'm hoping others will too.

Hope y'all can come out to visit us for the celebration.
I'm thinking cake.

Well, this has certainly been the fastest five months I've ever been privvy to!
It has been a lovely spring and with all the driving I've been doing, the turning of trees into springtime blooms, then leaves has given me a whole new outlook on apricot oranges, terra cottas, soft greens and bright greens & yellows. So I've been dying to get that result. I think I came pretty close with this warp.

Now as I weave them off, I am pondering the beautiful skies in the evening, chatting with pals from the past under the same starry skies we had such romantic youthful evenings when we were teens. So the next warp will be blues, those indigos from sunset and touches of ultramarine-y blues. Yes, I said ultramarine-y. I have a real challenge making those blues from my dyes. But I'm up for it. I see the next few months as blasting with color. And running. lots of running.
