[Nfb-krafters-korner] Hand Dyed Yarns

[River Woman]

Yes, Joyce, you tell him what colors you want.
He did the one for me that is purple, lilac, and yellow - oh, my, it is so 
magical. It reminds me of being in the woods, in the shadows, with 
highlights of sunshine.

the other one he did for me, turquoise, and yellow orange - my favorite 
colors.

FANTASTIC.

>> Hello fiber friends,
>> I am so excited  this morning!  I ordered some of Onix Terevinto's hand

>>  me photos - and I will post one with this note for those who can see
>>  photos on the computer.
>>
>> Anyway, I wanted to pass this resource  on to you if you are looking for

>> Each skein is  888 yards, and they are only $20. each. He will ship both
>> skeins to  me today and only charges $5.  and ships them by priority

>>
>> For those on Face Book, you can find Onix at his page  listed as his

>> custom colored for  you by Onix.
>>
>> I plan to make some scarves in the Double Basket  Weave pattern from my
>> skeins.  Right now, I am finishing up the  scarves and hats in Steeler
>> stripes, for the Christmas markets - I  did 6 scarves and am working on
>> hats now.  Then, I will  be  working on some things for myself. Happy
