craf·te·ra·ti

A few weeks ago I was doing some dyeing and I was really into blues. This stuff was spun up awhile ago and I just got around to taking photos. So here is the yarn…

	This is about 4.5 oz and 138 yds of pippiplied falklands. One single is dyed aqua, sky blue, and dark blue and the other is white and light blue. I love this yarn.
	130yds and ~100g of thick and thin Falklands painted with blues and browns.
	Twin skeins of thick and thin falklands painted aqua and brown. It would have been 1 big skein if my jumbo flyer had worked right. See below for more on that!

* A note of Ashford Kiwi Jumbo Flyers

I had purchased a jumbo flyer for my kiwi. I got it followed the assembly instructions and had tons of problems. The assembly seemed to short and it would wobble and pop off. Finally I got in touch with the seller and after awhile they concluded that they would exchange it for me. They asked that I send it back to the distributor with a copy of the email I sent describing the problem. I wanted to be sure I had everything down so I decided to use it once more before i sent it back.

As I was reassembling it I noticed that the flyer bearing was not centered in the wood. So if I flipped it the other way (ashford logo facing in) then it would be in effect shorter. So I did that and lo and behold it stopped slipping off! This is a defect with the product as the instructions clearly state that the flyer bearing should have the logo facing out.
