The Joys of Multi-tasking

I wasn't planning on posting today but I'm like a little kid with a fingerpaint portrait -- I can't wait to do show and tell. :)

It's amazing how much you can get done when you're working from home. Yesterday I managed to get all my actual work completed without the constant ring of the phone AND still made time to dye more yarn!

Poor Atropos was feeling a little under the weather yesterday, so I've decided to name this colourway after her (I hope you don't find these colours too scary, my dear!). This is 100% Italian cashmere.

And I decided to play with some 100% baby alpaca, too. This is Last of the Summer Berries (which you can see here in 100% merino). You can tell this is the alpaca if you look closely; the fluffy fibers make this whisper-light yarn incredibly soft!

And, lastly, this one, also in 100% sportweight alpaca, October Sunlight:

For those of you who are interested in any of the colourways here and in other posts in either merino wool, alpaca or cashmere, stay tuned. I'll try to consolidate the colourways and other info in a single post. :)

Happy Knitting, All!
