First up, the Loopy Ewe order.
On the left is Shibui, on the right is Oceanwinds.
The Shibui is the exact color I have been looking for. Husband has a pair of socks using Shibui. They were very nice to knit, we will see how they hold up.
The Oceanwinds is super soft. I am a little nervous about making socks with it. I may turn it into a baby sweater.
Here are a couple of braids from Dragon Fibers.
The blue is actually a dark purple, so lovely. Color Spook. Content BFL There are 8 ounces, so this may become a shawl for next Halloween. I really love spinning her stuff.More fiber, this time from Spunky Eclectic.
This is the October Fiber Of The Month club. It is Romney which I have never spun. It feels quite rough and has long fibers. Just a few twists between the fingers makes a strong length. I will probably wait a bit to spin this. Not only do I not have a project in mind, a little research is in order so that I do not screw it up.
Lastly, STR October instalment.
Color, Lenore. The yarn is VERY dark and hard to photograph. It is mostly black with shades of dark purple through out. This is the first release from the upcoming Ravens line. The pattern is by Stephanie. Beautiful and simple. For me to knit the black yarn I will need to wait until the days are a bit longer and brighter.
That is that. What a great weekend!
Next up...knitting and spinning progress and needles

You need to run down to your local JoAnn's or whoever carries Ott Lite and get one. I can knit my Lenore's just fine under it. Well, I knitted mine last night in the car, too, but I had it so close to my nose that if Paul had stopped quickly I would have put my eye out.
You know I meant Lenores not Lenore's, right? I know about the grocer's apostrophe.
