spin it

America

This yarn was spun on a Louet wheel. It was my first and only encounter with such a wheel. The wool was dyed using kool-aid link to instructions written by ME!. Each strip of roving was dyed in half red, half blue, and was then plied with a sparkly crochet thread. I thought the name "America" was appropriate not only because of the red, white, and blue, but also because of the sparkles, which in real life can be found in every Wal-Mart, and on the chrome hubcaps of every needlessly oversized SUV. There is a house near mine that has 4 Jeep Cherokees parked outside. There is another house with 3 SUVs of a wider variety. No matter how you slice it, we can definately do without all the sparkles.
