Another Art Yarn!
I recently traded some dyed fleece for this fabulous fiber batt from JazzTurtle on Etsy. The batt contains: merino, bamboo rayon, soy silk, milk protein fiber, corriedale fleece, targhee fleece, merino/cormo fleece, kid mohair locks, bamboo noil, silk noil, sari silk and angelina. I stripped the batt into several thin strips and then started with the tan and worked my way through to the blue fibers. I spun it thick and thin (although I wish I had spun it a bit thicker) and then plied it with an organic cotton thread in coordinating colors and formed coils and beehives by pushing the fiber up onto the cotton thread as I plied it.

It's really lovely.
I wish I had some knitting ability....

Hugs,

oh my that does resemble a beautiful day at the beach. I absolutely love it.
Pricilla: Personally I enjoy the spinning more than the knitting or crocheting most days!
Regi: You're always welcome! I can even do layaway if you see something you like but don't have quite enough coins in the pickle jar yet.
Ann: Thank you! It is very beach-like.
It really is a lovely yarn.
Absolutely gorgeous!
Your posts about how you create your yarns, and the photos of your llamas are just magnificent. Our worlds are worlds apart and I love glimpsing your world.
(except that my parents owned a summertime condo in Steamboat for 30 years and I love the Rockies.)
Very lovely - the colors are beautiful!
Beautiful colors, I love the texture.
