    Sounds like a productive week! I seriously love your yarns - particularly the second one - just my colours! Any plans what you'll make with them? I find art yarns intriguing - they look so wonderful but I wouldn't have a clue what to use them for! Perhaps I need to be a bit more adventurous with my spinning and crocheting... :)
    PS
    Lovely photies too!

    Hi, I'm interested in learning to spin as well, I'm hoping to get a drop spindle in the summer and sit outside in the sun having a go! Love your yellow flowers, I bet they smell gorgeous!! Have a lovely weekend, Carolyn

    Lovely spinning. I would probably use the rings as a resist in some dyeing or get really messy printing with them. Must be lots of possibilities including decorative. Wrap them? weave through them?
