I dyed some rovings and put them up in the shop.

They are all about 4 ounces of a super-soft Australian merino roving (21.5 micron), and all were kettle-dyed in my crock-pot. I think that the crock pot method makes the best color blends, and it requires no skill or attention at all.
And much to my surprise, the color schemes for two of these rovings were actually inspired…

I hope you can guess how they should match up!
i also made some crafty-styled etsy love buttons.

Remember, if you buy something, be sure to mention that you read my blog and I’ll throw in some extras.

So pretty! You really hit it with the moon-inspired roving!

Crockpots are so easy to clean, too. And they don’t take up nearly as much space as an 18 quart roaster!
