Single Black Ewe searching for Gorgeous Teddy Bear of a Ram
Horny guys need not apply...
Our little black Icelandic polled (no horns) ewe Orange needs a boyfriend. She's all alone in the world (other than her two beautiful sons, of course). She's trying to find someone who has really long, beautiful, multicolored fleece, a quiet, considerate temperament, and who wants to have lots of kids (ummm, I mean lambs).
Local boys would work out best...She has a crush on Freyr of Ingleside Icelandics, but we don't know if they are compatible yet.
In order to help Orange realize her dreams of having a big family of wooly lambs, I am offering my services as a yarn dyer. I will dye any quantity of yarn for you in whatever colors you desire, on your choice of fiber, your choice of weight of yarn (or roving). I will be headed off to purchase mass quantities of undyed fiber in a few days, so if you are interested, put your request in now. By the end of the week, I should be rolling in yarn, ready to dye for your projects. My goal is to be able to mail your freshly dyed yarn to you in about a week from the day you order it. I am anticipating selling the yarn for between $12 and $20 a 100 g. skein, depending on the fiber content (of course, I'll quote you a price before I dye the yarn). I'll also post photos of yarn I have already dyed so that you can pick from those skeins if you'd rather.
The possibilities are truly endless! You could get yarn based on the colors of your favorite pet, your wedding colors, or your sweetie's eyes! The yarn can be subtly kettle dyed, crazy and wild, or self patterning. I want someone to ask me to do colorways based on their Amazon Parrot's tail feathers.
So, if you want to help Orange realize her dream of finding the perfect man, (and produce some curly and fluffy Icelandic lambs in the spring), email me and let me know what you are looking for! This is your opportunity to get some truly one of a kind yarn, in a colorway designed just for you.

You go Orange! You'll find him out there somewhere.
Durn, I wish we lived closer! Our polled ram, Bombadil is exactly the kind of guy Orange would like. And she would be a great ewe for him. Oh well...
I'm so glad I found your new blog. It looks great!
