Award Winning Yarns

28 August, 2018

I'm usually not outcome or price driven, but have to admit I really wanted this one, as I love these textured yarns from the bottom of my heart! And Y-A-Y!!! got it "Excellence Award - Spinning" and I might keep floating on clouds for the rest of my life! :)

Set of textured yarns, hand spun from silk caps, mohair, angora rabbit, dove feathers. Botanically dyed with Harakeke seed pods and silver dollar leaves. Now on show until September 16th as part of the "Fibreworks2018" exhibition at Percy Thompson Gallery in Stratford, New Zealand.
