Finally (finally for me, my lovely swap haul showed up on time), here’s what my swapper, Nicola, sent me (please note the amazing dark chocolate):

This was her first time dyeing roving and I think it’s marvelous! The fiber is blue faced Leicester from the UK (where Nicola lives). She was concerned it was a bit felted, so she sent along additional white fiber for me to dye. It’s the perfect goodie package for me . . . especially with the chocolate. It’s not easy to find bars of Lindt chocolate in the wilds of Maine (though I have been known to track down stores in Boston!).

Nicola is having a fun Tour de France competition on her blog. It’s too late to enter, but it should be fun to follow along (it’s guessing how many days during the Tour that it rains).

Now, if I can ever find time to spin, I’ll be making stunning yarn from the UK! Thanks again, Nicola!
