Calamity Kim Serves up some Yeti Spaghetti... yum yum good!

This is an early yarn.
 One of the first tries.
It looks clunky and chunky to me now.
I like thick and thin.
But this is not that.
This is learning.
This is two different skeins of yarn that are just on the stretcher drying together.
I love pink and green together and the flower yarn turned out really nice.
 Still kinda fat but consistently fat (like me!) and I'm getting better at controlling it.
I love the feel of it gliding through my fingers as it spins.
 Sometimes I think its too small and it's going to break, but it doesn't and I am learning to relax into it.
Sailing away on a cloud of wool...
Just like everything else I have ever tried to do, this is about learning to do it the right way before you go off into the art part.
When I learned to weave baskets, it was traditional first then sculptural.
Same with sewing and quilting.
Then you have a strong foundation from which to build..

This is being stretched a little prior to being soaked.
 I showed it to my husband last night and he said it looked like Yeti hair. So, after much giggling, I decided to name my yarns "Yeti Spaghetti".
I think each time I spin the consistency and diameter is improving.
 Learning new skillz, man!
The sparkle is from adding in some firestar and this also has bamboo and silk fibers. It isn't really pretty like the pink and yellow but it speaks to the prairie girl in me.
 Natural with a hint of spark.
My little friend just wandered by and reminded me I have to get back over to Picasso Moon today and make some felted eyeballs and beads to use in more yarn...I guess I'd better go.
Have a happy Wednesday people!
xo, love and yeti spaghetti for everybody!

You are the best thing I ever made.
 Thank you for being such a wonderful son.
