This is my entry for the Spring 2011 Competition - the attached 'photos tell the story.
I am calling the yarn 'Hanami' (the name given to Japanese cherry blossom viewing picnics), because, while I created it, I couldn't quite keep out of my mind the contrast between the pleasurable activity I was undertaking and the trauma being suffered in Japan. I looked at Shiela's 'photo and felt decidedly challenged, as the colours did not encompass the range I usually work with. However, inspired by the delicate blossom, beautiful sky and tracery of red-brown twigs with hints of green leaves to come, I decided to experiment with some of the ideas I had garnered from Alison Daykin and Jane Deane's beautiful book, keeping as close to the 'photo as I possibly could, and making the most of some of the materials at my disposal.
I am lucky to live in a Cotswold village, where farming friends let me have Romney fleece which I prepare at home. First carded 85/15 with Satin Angora from my pet rabbit, then spun as a single, this was then plied with another single of 30% Romney-Angora, 30% blended pale blues of merino tops, 20% dark green merino carded with pale green hand-dyed silk throwsters waste and 20% brown wool from a Jacob's fleece carded with deep cherry and ochre pre-dyed merino. Each colour was added separately to the single in equal sections, in the order I felt gave the best colour balance to the yarn. (Initially, I tried plying two of the coloured singles together, keeping the coloured sections parallel, as best I could, but the result was too busy and had too strong a feel next to the 'photo. I opted instead to ply the mullti-coloured single with a plain cream one, which made it more restful.)

This pastoral panorama shows the full Moon of June 4th 2012 attended by a brightly-coloured moon dog or paraselene—an atmospheric phenomenon caused by tiny ice crystals splitting moonlight up into a rainbow, much like a prism. The bright apparition was fleeting, and vanished in less than a minute. High cloud was accompanied by a thin mist over the field of barley in the foreground.
