Finn roving has to be my favorite fiber to spin. I find it the easiest to spin, and I love the resulting yarn. It is just beautiful, matt looking, and baby soft.
I named this skein Bonbon. Its colors were inspired by the bonbon colored dresses of Marie-Antoinette.
It is 110 yards. I can just see a Cerise Baby Sweater for a baby girl! I just added it to my Etsy Shop.
On the dollhouse front, I am almost there. Yesterday I received an adorable re-ment tea set. The detail is amazing! (I ordered it from Priscilla's Treasures.) And the color...emerald. It reminds me of the vintage Anchor forest green glass dish sets. Little Miss SockPixie will be so happy!
The dollhouse should be done tomorrow...

What is a "Finn"? Lovely colours. . . .
Dear emerson-j,
Finn is short for Finnsheep, a particular kind of sheep with soft fiber originally from Finland. I love their fiber as it is so soft and easy to spin.
Thanks for your comment.
