I seem to have the most time to explore and spin yarn in the beginning of the year. This year I had a nice stock of hand dyed fiber from Edgewood Garden Studio to work with. The top row of yarns stuck with a single package of fiber, but the bottom two combined two different fiber packs to create each yarn. The first paired two strands of gray with a third spun from vibrant colors. The second use the other half of the vibrant yarn paired with a similarly vibrant blue. It’s very interesting to see how the color comes to the front with the gray, but becomes an accent with the blue.

An exploration of the tiny details – of a beautiful palm sized stone and the color and texture of yarn.
