July - mid-summer Needle Rocket!

Needle Rocket, Summer!!! July 2009

Wild Iris, lupine, larkspur, penstemon, sticky geraniums, mules’ ears sunflowers, columbine, daisies, peonies, roses, petunias, pansies, blue flax…crystal blue sky, puffy white cumulus, brilliant green tundra

These sights are blowing our minds with beauty and inspiration. Our mountains are bursting with color and scents. We are gathering ideas for hue and texture for all our fiber projects. As you know, the planning of a project is just as much fun (if not more) as working and completing. We have SO much beautiful fiber to choose from for your summer project or early fall garment.
