I thought it should be named Autumn.
If I can get my office work out of the way, maybe I’ll fit in a bit more dyeing.
All the potatoes are in the barn, drying off before retiring to the bins in the cold cellar. Buckets of green, white and blushed tomatoes wait to be spread out in covered boxes to ripen slowly through the remainder of the fall. Several years ago, we were still eating *fresh* tomatoes until New Year’s, last year only until Thanksgiving. We were disappointed to find that most of the remaining apples had blown from the trees last week while we were away. The deer had completely cleaned up, not a apple, fresh or rotten, on the ground. It’s to be expected, not always controlled.
I was happy to still count ten heads when I walked by today. After last night, with the coyotes, and all the tok tok talk of the ravens today, I had thought they might be feasting on leftovers.
Back to Ribby…

Oh, your autumn colorway is JUST GORGEOUS. To be expected, of course!
The yarn is absolutely beautiful and the epitome of autumn. The beginning of fall up there makes me so envious. I live down South in Memphis and it’s just now beginning to cool off just a bit but it’s still not cool enough to wear wool yet! That’s what I’m waiting for.
“Autumn” is beautiful! If only I could justify more yarn purchases!
I’m so excited though!! I’ve got apples too! Gonna have a crazy canning week!
I love the colors of all your yarns, Judy, but that one just takes my breath away. I wish I could afford some.
The new colors are so beautiful! I’m too tempted!
So beautiful, as usual! Are you planning on doing any singles? Because I’m still looking to buy about 8 skeins so I can make Hanging Vines. 🙂
Oh, my. You really NAILED the concept of Autumn in that yarn! Hope to meet you at Rhinebeck, but did I hear a rumor that you are going to SOAR? We are having a blogger get-together in my room on Thursday…just saying.
Wait a sec…potatoes? What happened to the low carb diet? 🙂
Love the yarn, its gorgeous.
You’ve done it again,Judy….art imitates nature!
Every time I come to your blog I gape in awe and wonder. I’m a new spinner/dyer. Will I ever even come close to the quality of the work you do? Unbelieveably consistent, the colors are totally spot on, you produce volumes of gorgeous yarn.
When my skills evolve I wanna be just like you.
Your new biggest fan

Ohhhh, I love the autumn yarn!
Your yarn is beautiful but I really like your photos – the light, the colour, the crispness! Now I have to go crawling through your archives….
Oh my freakin gawd I love that color. Beautiful work. I knew it would be lovely from the drying skeins, but…well, seeing it skeined up is pretty amazing. Bravo!
Judy, the yarn, Autumn, it is beautiful! It so captures all that autumn is. Again you have transported me. Thank you for sharing the wonderful photography…And yea, didn’t need to know about the cows. When my dad had sheep, he went to a motel and let his wife take care of the culling and shipping…This was a rather large operation in Montana…he just couldn’t handle it, nor could I. Miss you Judy. Hope to see you some Tuesday night.
You have captured autumn! Absolutely & beautiful! And imagine–it’s yarn.
The colors are just amazing. What beautiful photos…thank you!
What a lovely blog – awesome photos.
Do you milk your own cow?
What beautiful yarn, Judy. And photos, of course. You’ve certainly been busy. Love it all.
Beautiful colors. Autumn colors are my favorite and you got them spot on. Your photographs are wonderful.
