This Saturday, May 16th will be the last day I display my handdyed yarn at Saturday Market. After that I will list it on etsy and if you see something you like I can bring it to market for you to pick up so you don't have to pay shipping.
Wool prices have gone up as the economy has slowed down, and I am not willing to raise my prices to keep up.
So for now you can get some great bargains on handpainted yarns at market, and on etsy.

Saw you want to sell your Fricke Electric winder and am wondering why. I'm considering getting one myself. I have a manual one of theirs that's a workhorse, but have to get automated--too hard on elbows, shoulders, etc. I'd love to hear feedback. Am also wondering if you'd consider dismantling and shipping? I'm in Colorado and won't be at Black Sheep. The e-mail address below isn't right. It's info@gypsywools.com. Barb
Just saw your comment, I did manage to sell my Fricke at Black Sheep, so I got to avoid the shipping.
It was a great machine, if you are doing lots of winding I totally recommend investing in it. I am getting out of dyeing yarn and am keeping a manual winder for personal projects. I used it a lot with the yardage to wind yarn off cones into skeins ready to dye, then rewind from swift to get them pretty to sell. It totally saved time and energy!
You do still have to babysit it, you can't just walk away. But you aren't cranking away by hand the whole time! The only criticism I have is that the counter is on the top, so I had to put it on a low bench or I had trouble seeing the counter if it was at regular table height. (I am 5'4"). Let me know if I can answer any more questions
