I dyed 3 more rovings this weekend (I’ve nearly used up the first big batch of undyed wool top that I purchased) and I’m really happy with all of them. I had definite color themes in mind when I dyed them, and they came out pretty much exactly as I intended. The first is posted on Etsy; the other two I’ll post tomorrow and Tuesday.

The conventional wisdom is that you need to post items frequently in order to stay at the top of product searches, since the most recently posted items come up first. Within 30 minutes of posting “Dogwoods in Bloom”, I had fallen back to Page 2 on a search for “roving”. The hand-dyed roving market, she is quite saturated. I’ve decided to let the listings run their 60-day course and then start poaching for my own use.
