A quick post for inquiring minds. While the sheep are lounging around, eating bon bons, I'm slaving over the dye pots, wending my way through the color samples for the Spring Shares: Cormo Silk Alpaca. Here's a look at what's a'cookin'!

Three (duh, make that four) of my favorite colors pictured above. Starting at the left: duck egg, katydid, hen of the woods and hyssop.

This shot shows a few more colors. Clockwise from  upper left: duck egg, lavender buds, bluebird, hyssop, hen of the woods, katydid, ladyslipper. It's so tricky photographing colors and showing them accurately. But these shots taken on my kitchen table in the morning light look pretty darn accurate, at least on my monitor.

I'm still rounding out the selections. Some of these colors were introduced last year and some are brand new. Any feedback is appreciated. More show and tell later. Back to the studio.

(A note to Sheep Shares members. Watch your inbox next week for our first 2010 e-newsletter. It will contain swatches of all the color options for the Spring Shares, plus a few little surprises 😉
