Accidental Mess

This is... well... an "Accidental Mess" ;)

 

When I got my blending board, I grabbed some bits of leftover fibers and proceeded to blend them. Wool, silk, chunky bits and fabric scraps - everything went into these rollags. This should have created some lovely chunky art yarn.

 

However, once I was ready to spin the rollags, I just went with the flow. The flow demanded they be spun a lot thinner than I had originally planned.

 

When I was done, I looked at my bobbin and couldn't settle on a plying method. It was either winding off half of the single to create a two-ply, plying with two strands of sewing thread or chain-plying.

 

Then, while browsing a local thrift store, I discovered option no. 4. One of their bins held several (tangled!) balls of a cheerfully pink novelty yarn that is really not much more than sewing thread with eyelash-y bits.

 

At home, I introduced my single to this pink novelty yarn and an "Accidental Mess" was born. Go figure ;)
