I've flipped my colour lid.....

I am the bull in the china shop....the Pugsley in Toys R Us....the Dazza at the motor show... (I think you get the drift.....I've gone mad). There is clanging and banging in our laundery late at night with steam and strange wooly smells...(and shocked gasps when I realise it is 2am....again!!) I've gone crazy cos' it's true...my little Sheepychic varigated colour trick works on any colour...all the time!! Check this out! This green hank only has a dot of yellow.... Look closely at the black and silver metallic thread I used to ply through this little blue hank...it is totally alive. When you move this wool it really looks as though electricity is running through it... The green hank is nice...plied through with the gold metallic...it's really rich. It would be beautiful to high light a little bag or for a funky outrageous cushion cover panel. But this blue hank...omg...could we have trophy hank number two.???? It is nudging the all time favourite hank list....

Wow, your plying is just so perfect! How do you do it?! Tye, maybe you can pass it on when you're finished with it?!?! ;-)

hmmmm...to tell or not to tell...you both may have to ply me (love a yarn pun) with copious amounts of wine. Thanks for the posting, Lisa..as for the plying...it's a combination of a late night sleep deprived stupor and a 5 year old's challenge to spin the wheel faster....faster....fasterrrrrr!!!! (wow Mum...it nearly launched!)

Hand spun yarns web-ring...
