Strawberries & Cream

So with just a couple of days gone since I finished my Kool-Aid dyed yarn (which I may or may not do again...leaning towards not...) I've finished the yarn that I inteded to make with said roving!



The first picture is truest to the color. The second is kind of crappy, but gives you an idea of the weight the yarn is (i.e. the coin is a 10 cent Euro piece -- closest coin that I could see out in the open -- it's about the size of a penny). I'm really, really pleased with how it turned out. I was a bit worried due to the shocking color of the roving and while I was spinning the individual strands it was REALLY tight, I wasn't sure if there was going to be enough of each...THEN while plying the yarn started kinking up on itself. ::shakes head:: Tricky, tricky yarn. But after beating it, soaking it, squeezing it, etc...I think that it's just about perfect. =) Now is the curious question about what I'm going to do with it. Maybe it will just sit out as decoration.
