On to the next

The bead yarns are done. I have one skein of the blue and 2 skeins of the pink. They turn out how I had hoped.medium_roving_to_yarn_054.jpg The pink is a little more subtle as the beads are a closer match colorwise to the roving than the blue and a few are clear or frosted but over all the look is nice. You will have to zoom in on both to actually see the beads. medium_roving_to_yarn_052.jpg I used size 8 seed beads so they wouldn't be too huge but not so small as to get lost. the size 11's seemed too small for me. I think I am going to do a small skein to match the blue one and ply the beads in a little more often for more bling. We will see how this works as previous tries have been unsuccessful. The beads are great until they hit the flyer and then they all seem to get moved together so we will see if I can solve that problem.
