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.

Manufacturer unknown. Wood types unknown. Purchased at LYS.

Yarn is Navajo plied roving from an Etsy seller in New Brunswick.
