I think the sickness has spread...
It's pathetic, I believe that nowadays I take more pictures of yarn than I do of my children.
I scored at a garage sale today, for $40 I got 2 bags of wool, some hand spun, and 3 smaller bags of silk. I dyed 2 hanks of the silk with ultraviolet, and that stuff is as unstable as nitroglycerin, you can never figure out what the heck you're gonna get. Like a bawx of chawklates.... (for some reason, the color IRL is more like picture 2, which is a bit of a bummer. Well I was perfectly happy with it, to tell the truth, till I saw this picture. I guess it's fine. :-))
the white is what the silk started as, see the purdy handspun next to it? Wool. Unfortunately as I frogged an incomplete sweater I rediscovered that my allergy to wool wasn't imaginary. I'm still sick hours later.
I tried to wind one hank but it got tangled up and I'm giving up for the night, hope I don't have to cut it.
Oh, and here's that present, all done...
