I'm going to ply it later tonight, and give it a bath tomorrow. Right now is the best time for drying yarn.
Here's pictures of the yarn I made yesterday. It's Falkland, colorway "Peacock", and I've spun it as gradiating yarn. I really like it. I've chain plied it and got 268yds.
And since my "paws" hurt today, this photo caught my eyes. It's Happy's paws, which are happier than mine today.
He did have problems with his paws, because of the pool water. He's so much in there, that his paws are very dry, and cracked. With the hot temperatures though, it's hard to keep him out of the water.

How did you heal Happy's paws? Sadie has a paw that's very dry and I can't get it to heal.
Boss had a crack in one of his pads a few years back and we covered it in vaseline and taped one of my ankle socks on his foot. :) It healed!
The handspun is gorgeous. And I see a paw picture like that right now. It's a dogs world.
I just want to kiss each one of those adorable paws!!
When I first saw Peacock, I thought it was differing shades of green. What a pleasant surprise it turned out to be.
Your sore arms, my sore shoulders. I think we should both do better at pacing ourselves.
Beautiful handspun! I'm going to live this TdFleece vicariously through you, I think.
I love both those handspuns!
I wouldn't use Vaseline as it traps any bacteria/germs that are on the skin. Maybe you have some lanolin? It's awesome on dry skin/lips, etc. You can even just buy a tube of the stuff in the drugstore, for breastfeeding. Knitpicks also sells a really nice potion called Bebe Bee Balm (or something like that).
Do you put anything on Happy's paws?
Rocky has really dry paws too, and I haven't had a chance to ask the vet if there is anything I can use to help
Gorgeous yarn. Don't over do it and take care of your joints.
That blue green is SO pretty! And you have such a great consistency. I haven't even attempted to spin and won't try because I know I will NEVER get my yarn to look that nice, ever. So why try? I'll leave it to you experts! WAY TO GO!!!
ooh pretty! love the subtle color shifts. i keep meaning to do one of these someday.
I understand the peacock, but I see tropical waters more in the yarn.
Poor Happy, hope his feet either heal quickly or adjust to pool life.
Poor Happy, his paws must be painful, but they are so cute!!!
