Technically, Ella runs into ogres, not trolls, and manages to keep from being eaten, but Pablo the Alpaca is still very happy that Ella is safe.
Handdyed Columbia/Dorset wool in a rainbow of troll flavours, with a dozen trolls pied in throughout. Created using a quill head attachment, at considerable risk to the Angry Spinner.
Approx 48 yards, 3.8 oz.

While I like to spin all kinds of yarn, thick, thin, thick-and-thin, textured, smooth, and in all kinds of colours, perhaps my favourite thing to do is to find something really unique. Currently, I have a dozen yarns that have different glass beads spun in, including the Abby Normal and Lily Servo yarns in black alpaca with glass skull beads, and blood red cotton and crimson sari silk respectively.
The Peter Rabbit Skein started with an unusual corsage I received this February. Renaissance Guy was going to be out of town during ECOR’s Annual Auction, so I asked two couples to be my collective date, one of whom (a florist–see card below) brought me a corsage made from random (plastic) vegetables.
Inspired by Pluckyfluff’s Prairie Dream yarn, I decided to try my hand at a similar skein–one with vegetables, a rabbit, and a small blue coat. I plan to debut it at the NWRSA Conference the first weekend in June.
