Frankenfluff time !!!

#16 Ceccoli oracle : 

"Adventure awaits ! Head to unchartered territory. Whatever box you stuffed yourself into, it's time to break out ! You will find inspiration when you strike out in new directions. "

No use me saying again that last week was busy busy, because it always is here…. LOL 

 Not really much out of the ordinary happened except me going to bed very late again to be able to participate in this years’ Inktober. 

Every day you receive a prompt, as a kind of a hint of inspiration to draw and ink something. Here are the first 7 days. Not too bad since last year I didn’t even have the energy or inspiration to start at all ! LOL 

It’s pretty hard to keep it up every day, but I will do my best to keep it up ! As usual I want to have a bunny in each of the drawings …lol no surprise there….

You can see what I am up to next on my Instagram page..just look up @ixchelbunny. I would love to see you following my adventures there.

Now, what have ai got planned for you tonight? Frankenfluff tops !! these are absolutely amazing. You may have heard on my blog last week that I absolutely loooove tweedy , heathery looking yarns. To get that tweed effect there are different ways to get there: tonight’s Frankenfluff tops are absolutely amazing and pretty authentic for that purpose.

To achieve this result you have to dye the fleece first, card it , blend all different bits and bobs together and pull the top directly from the carder. The result is a fabulous lofty, sticky (as in not super slick like gilled tops are) and excellent for those knitting projects that are in need of using STEEKS. These Frankenfluff tops are awesome: they combine Merino, Corriedale, Silk, Alpaca and Tencel together in a myriad of colours and shades. 

I have organized them into five different colourways: Mars Attacks, Beetlejuice, Mad Hatter, Dark Shadows and Cheshire Cat. Here are some test skeins I spun from Beetlejuice and Dark Shadows to let you see how the Frankenfluff tops spin up.

Please don't hesitate to contact me at any time if you have any questions okay? Always happy to enable. All my contact details are to be found at the end of this week’s blog entry. Have fun !!!

Shipping : Lock down or not: I am still working and mailing the parcels out fast as humanly possible :-) All orders received and paid for of the Friday updates, will be shipped first thing monday morning. We do daily post office runs (if necessary). The recent AusPost changes to parcel pickups from businesses therefore does not apply to us because WE deliver your parcel directly to our nearest AusPost hub.

Seeing that there are currently lots of Covid cases, especially in NSW and in lesser extent in VIC, there can be some AusPost sorting centres that do not have enough staff so there will be delays in getting the parcel to you. As soon as your parcel is shipped you will receive an automatic email from AusPost with the tracking number so you can see where your parcel is and the approximate ETA. Please be patient during these pandemic times. We do our utmost to keep everything running smoothly on our end and if you have any questions: please do not hesitate to ask. Always happy to help!
