Karen from WonderWoollens on Etsy at http://www.etsy.com/shop/WonderWoollens, bought some of my BFL hand painted tops, in colour Sweet Pea.
She hand spun it and used it for colour fair isle knitting, which became a headband for her shop.
You can find the headband at http://www.etsy.com/listing/88265051/headband-earwarmer-fairisle-handspun?ref=pr_shop It has to be the perfect weather for this now right?!
Doesn't it look snugglly!
Thank you for sharing Karen!

Oh thank you so much Ali! I'm rally pleased you like what you have purchased from me... I'm just waiting for the weather to warm up to start dyeing some new colours... I love my dye pot!
I'm glad you like the feature, Sxx
I would love to be able to spin your fibres, what a clever lady. Such a gorgeous finished item. You must love seeing your handiwork being put to such good use!?

Spindle spinning is easier to start with and fairly inexpensive.
