Taken at Bolton Abbey, North Yorkshire. No, not a spider web but in fact the web of the spindle ermine moth caterpillar, which coccoons its chosen food plant and munches away in safety!

The fiber on the spindle is a merino/tencel blend from Spincerely yours on etsy. The scarf is being knit with bfl singles spun from spunky ecelectic bfl in the color brain freeze.
