Little sample balls of Hello Yarn Sock. I didn't spend half the afternoon winding them to let them go without a photo!

I got a *super-lovely* Lion Brand catalog in my mailbox a few months back, and came across it happily in my desk travels, today. Sooo inspiring! It makes me wish for multi-colored stacks of yarn in my won craft room! :)

Sock yarn leftovers create a nice yarn display. Just looking at it makes me happy.
#43 A Frame within a Frame - 117 Pictures in 2017
This yarn is part of a series of new experiments I'm performing with color in spinning. This yarn was spun from merino roving that was handpainted in a series of colors that never repeat. I split the roving down the center and spun two nearly identical skeins - they both will self-stripe in the same color sequence, with no repeats. Perfect if you want to make a pair of something - like fingerless gloves/armwarmers or legwarmers - or if you want to make one large piece, like a scarf, you can knit/crochet in different ways to produce different color effects. You could alternate one row from each skein, or you could knit from one end of the first skein and then the opposite end of the second skein, for a mirror effect.
The colors in this yarn are (in the order they occur): pale blue, teal/green, yellow, peach, purple, pink, brown, and mustard/olive.
(I'm so lazy. I cut & pasted this from my etsy shop description. Which is why it sounds like I'm trying to sell it!)
Yarn is made of twisted fiber. In crochet the yarn is twisted and knotted to make a design. This picture was taken for Macro Monday's twist edition.
I get a lot of questions about using this image (it really was a fluke that it came out so well, the very well lit window should take some of the credit!). Please see this page to tell you what you can do with this image: creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/. Basically, like all of my photos, it's available to use non-commercially as long as you don't change it and you credit me. Please ask if you have any further questions though. I'm not a professional photographer but I'm very flattered that this image has become very popular.
Finally decided on this ball of yarn for January's Monthly Scavenger Hunt. it's Adriafil Globe.
I gave Sandi some handspun yarn as a thank you for Will's coat. It's a merino-angora blend. (Maybe 5% angora?) The merino is from Abi, the angora is from Gir. It's hand blended, and hand spun on my Ashford wheel. Approximately 160 yards of three-ply (worsted weight) yarn.
In Askersund Sweden last week I came across a little store that sold flowers, crafts, and souvenirs (and had the Sweden Mexico football game on the radio). Outside the shop were these wonderful balls of yarn squeezed into a bin. What a wonderful photo opportunity. I bought no yarn, but did get a souvenir and listed to a bit of the game with the shop keeper.
