The hand-spun yarn is all dry and skeined up. Here are some pictures from roving to the final product. ~250 yds of 3-ply (14.9 WPI - a heavy fingering or light sport weight yarn) and a tiny bit (12 yds) of 2-ply lace-wt yarn (from the leftover singles)
this is the story of our life at "Rosevale on the Palouse Prairie" in eastern Washington State, and my love affair with all things fiber/fabric. 'BeanQueen' you might ask, well in my previous life I was the curator of the Phaseolus Germplasm Collection (beans native to the western hemisphere) in the United States. My lovely #2 sister gifted me with my 'autre nom'.

Is it spaghetti sauce yet?
It's nearly there! And it actually tastes like marinara sauce - WOW - who would have known? However, I must let you all know that 33 # of tomatoes when reduced to sauce does not make a whole lot of product ;~). I put in onions, green peppers, garlic, olive oil, celery, basil, oregano, thyme, summer savory, parsley, marjoram, tarragon, salt, pepper, & sugar. It is now in the crock pot on low until it is reduced to the proper consistancy for pasta sauce.

It's amazing how a lot of fruit will reduce to a little product. Oh well. The yarn is beautiful. Thanks for the pictures.
