Yarn Magic

Well, I finally got around to making my "magic" skein of yarn and I have to say I love it. I turned out to be 225 yards which should be enough for a scarf or other artsy project. medium_roving_to_yarn_046.jpg I am not sure the the store will like it as it will be a ton more money than the other skeins but we will see. It really looks great even as a skein. I also finished the other neutral skeins and think they turned out nice. They are bulky weight and have some Angelina Flash in it for sparkle. medium_roving_to_yarn_045.jpg It is a little hard to see in the photo but it is a gold sparkle. Subtle but nice and the other skein is one ply of that and one ply of a varigated mill spun yarn I had left over. It is a cool effect I think. One I wil do again. I am at a loss on what to spin next but I think it will be something for me. maybe the merino/silk blend I have been hoarding or maybe the really cool roving I got from Blue Moon Fiberarts. They are the ones that do the Socks that Rock yarn that everyone loves. I guess I will decide when I sit down tonight.
