Dreaming About Umbrella Drinks
My mind has recently been fixed upon getting to a warm climate and lounging on a white sand beach with a fancy umbrella drink in hand. So, it should be no surprise that my recent dyeing excursion should yield a result which totally reflects that mindset....
I really dig this colorway, I call it Cayman. :)
I used teal and spearmint dyes, leaving a fair amount of white wool. I love how the colors seep into one another.
Here it is in singles on the bobbins....
Plied up and the twist is set!
And wound up all perty.
This will be a birthday gift for my friend's daughter who is turning 10 this weekend. She's a very talented little knitter and I think she'll get a kick out of the fact that I dyed the wool and spun it into yarn for her! :)

What a clever gift! I have a ton of roving and no spinning wheel. My birthday is in June...
