Introducing the "Whiz Bang Windomatic"......(patent pending)

This is something I am very proud of and so excited about. My grandfather and I got together and spent a whole day designing and building this machine.
I call it the WHIZ BANG WINDOMATIC. We had so much fun making it together. It is an equal collaboration of design and effort. Granddad and I make a great team. I told him we should apply for the "Amazing Race", I feel confident we'd have a good chance of winning... LOL.
Anyhow, this is going to revolutionize my hand dyed threads....ok maybe "revolutionize" is not the right word LOL. It will however save a lot of wear and tear on my wrists and shoulder...and it is about 4 times faster than hand winding....so it has made my work fun again.

Here is my first batch of hand dyed thread "HDT" using the W.B.W.



I saw these wild pansies growing along the road while walking my dog.
So of course it has inspired:

"WILD PANSY"


My new skeins will look a little different than the old ones and it has changed my dye patterns just enough to further distinguish my work from other dyers. But don't worry you will still get the same great quality at the same great price!
