Greetings All! I've been enjoying stacks of great feedback about the Rushworth Hank...it is beautiful. Strangely all the fuss got me wondering if I could tweek it a little. And tweek it I did!!!
It all started here...I've run it really finely through the wheel. That's my pinkie finger, so you can see how fine the yarn is. Is it lace weight? I'm not sure but it took me ages and ages and ages to spin!!
I spun some white Merino at the same weight...plied them through and da da da daaaaaaa....we have snow in Rushworth!!
Wow...I love this hank. Can you imagine the coolest surfie chic style beenie in this??
Of course I just had to tinker about with my new toy...hehe Check these out!
This Blue Snowy ranges right through from light, light blue, darker blues and on to purple. Oh so cute! Safe to say it works in Blue... hehe!
Remember that varigated green hank a few posts ago??...Well the Sheepychic snowy trick worked well too!...da da da daaaaaaa Green snowy! (oh so showy) hehe
Here they are...all dressed up with no place to go. Hanks available for purchase. Thanks for popping in to Sheepychic bloggings....bye for now!....Ruth xx

I would buy it but I have no money.... i take donations though!!! Hope you are feeling better, Love Tye.
go on over to the blog and check out what you started lady....
they look great Ruth so tell me then darl how much would a hank of the snowy rushworth set me back?
I love the names...great imagination! You could do a stall at Werribee Craft market the way your going.
oh you dags..I'm not trying to sell off sheepychic to you guys!! It's for the mega squillions of people who log in that can't publish comments...! Kath the good news is that I have tried and I can recreate Rushy fairly accurately..so I can make as much as anybody wants. The raw rovings cost me $50 a kilo and it takes about 2 to 3 hours to make. Generally my hanks are $25 but don't stress...I've got a little something in the Rushy pipeline for Lil' K. Ruth xxx
