More Beads
I finally have the beading when plying thing down. I really like how it looks as I tend to do the beads randomly which makes it look like little dew drops on the yarn.
The color is very subtle as it is a white wool plied with a pink thread with pink and pearl beads. Very spring and I love it. I got 2 skeins about 57 yards each. Should make great trim or a small project or maybe I will spin more to make something bigger. That leaves me again with the "what to spin now" as the plain wool I ordered has not come in so no dying has been happening. I also ordered some merino top today on sale for a great price so we are soon to be 7lbs deep in fiber just beggin' to be dyed. Now I think I have to order some more dyes. I was also thinking about trying something totally funky ala the "PluckyFiber" stuff. I was thinking about maybe plying in some silk strips. I am not sure how this will work but I picked up 2 100% silk scarves at AmVet for $1.95 today that I am going to cut up. Gotta love a great thrift store buy.
