Cabin Cove Roving & Yarn

I received my recent Cabin Cove Mercantile purchases today.  Dave is dyeing roving in addition to sock yarn so I picked up one of each.  The roving is superwash merino dyed in the Pocket Money colorway.  I have not spun superwash before, so this should be an adventure!  I have 4 oz and plan to make a 3 ply yarn for socks or maybe a hat.  I will decide once I see how the yarn turns out.  My photo does not do the merino/nylon (in color MN 109) sock yarn justice.  This blend is wonderfully soft and these colors are incredibly vibrant.  I will be winding it into a ball very soon.  Thank you to Dave for his prompt shipping and for brightening my Monday afternoon.

I love the roving, can't wait to see it spun up. Are you going to Navajo ply it or really 3 ply? And you talkin about bright, those socks are going to be something else!!!

That roving is going to be so nice! And love the yarn! I got my yarn from Dave this afternoon too! Really does brighten the day doesn't it?

What beautiful roving and what wild sock yarn! I think you're going to have a ball with both. :-)

I don't remember seeing that yarn in his store, but you might have gotten there before I did. (I was a bad boy and went a little crazy at Cabin Cove Mercantile.)

I do love the purchases.

What more could anyone ask for? :) Can't wait to see how the roving spins up! :)

Wow, that IS fast shipping. And your photos really do them justice. Now, to see you spin your magic. (And, yes, you beat Patrick for this one!)

I love the roving! That should be fun spinning. I am in agreement with everyone else, those will be some wild colored socks. Oh but so much fun to knit!!!

I always look forward to receiving my sock yarn - the colors always amaze me. Yours look great.
