Here is a new colourway that I am
going to introduce. This is my trial run as handpainted yarn, I am pleased with the results. It will be called Inspiration because of all the beautiful inspiring colours 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This is also a new colourway that I have trialed, again I am very happy with the results. Bright and cheerful and will be called Gaiety
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This lovely scarf is being knitted from a handspun Timber roving, a lovely variety of colours are showing through.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This is the handspun Timber roving that is being used in the above scarf
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This gives you an idea of what the handpainted yarn Vineyard knits up like.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This is the handpainted roving Forest divided into thin pencil rovings and knitted on large needles
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I had a play and have knitted this beanie out of the handpainted roving The Blues. It is lovely and soft and so warm.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The next two photos are of needle felting done with my rovings and batts
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Now I have a selection of hats that have also been felted with my rovings and batts
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This is the handpainted roving Pink Spotty spun up, it looks like a jar of lollies, I think.
It is interesting to note the that previous hat has also been made from the same roving
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This is the handpainted roving Happy spun and knitted. Note when I dye this one the colours got blurred together abit, which was exactly what appealled to the lady who knitted the jumper. Happy is in fact abit brighter than this.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This is a scarf made our of the same yarn, just the darker section of it, also the camera altered the colour abit.
