Just A Little Stash Enhancement
How could I resist grabbing a few 4 oz bundles of superwash BFL from Susan's Spinning Bunny
in the colorway "Vibernum" which is now discontinued? Such a deep
plummy purple with that dramatic and vibrant forest green... whatever I
spin
from it, I'd better think about my project first 'cuz there isn't going
to be any left to emergency order if I run out! Lately I've been really
taken up with spinning natural colored fibers and the hilarious part is,
they're all shades of brown! It's not like I planned it that way and
it's not my favorite color, it just sort of "happened"! Maybe that's why
I picked this instead of some more Tamarac & Spruce, another
colorway of hers I adore and almost bought instead, but featuring shades
of tan, brown, yellow and olive green. This colorway looks even better
in person than in my pic - it makes me feel good just to look at it, and
it's buttery soft to boot! Only it's a ways down on the To Do list
(pesky thing! I wish it would just go away!) and with year end
approaching I have to really pour the coals to the neglected (and
detested) mundane job of book keeping... *sigh*. I guess I'll have to be
content with looking & loving for now... Cheers all! 
I love the color and would like to see the open skein and how it spins up. Sometimes they look great in the twisted skein and lose some of their punch after being spun. These colors are right up my alley though. Are the color runs long or short bursts? It's hard to tell in the twisted skein.

I promise better photos when I tear it open to spin in a couple months, OK? What I'm most sorry for is that I didn't buy more when I had the chance, I just didn't have the cash to. *sigh!* Who knows, maybe Susan will resurrect it for a special dye lot for me some time, she's pretty good that way, but I won't hold my breath on her matching the colors exactly. I know how hand dyeing goes! LOL!
