Okay, so I had to share this with you. I met Holly of when she posted to my blog recently and boy, am I ever glad she did. Holly spins Art yarns and boy, can this woman spin! AND, she was willing to swap a beautiful skein and two batts for some HMH. Look what came in the mail from her today.
It really was difficult to catch the subtle color changes and sparkle in the two batts, and I fiddled with them a bit in Photoshop to see if I could heighten the shadows and color variations a bit, but the pictures still fail to do them justice.
Thank you Holly - you're a Goddess!
Now - if I can only manage to spin these lovelies without ruining them. Everyone cross your fingers for me and then go look at Holly's yarn and fiber!
The colours in that second batt really zing - very spring-like!

You are so sweet!! Thank you for the kind words! I definitely love what I do, and the batts are an artistic outlet. It is fun to combine different fibers and colors in a way that is individually striking and then also will spin up into a beautiful yarn which you will make into an amazing garmet. It is so fun.
BTW, You picked one of my all time favorite batts - the bottom one, Breakfast at Tiffanies. That batt was one that I totally enjoyed making. I do hope you like it.
So, remember to take pictures of your spun yarn or FO's so you can get a $5 credit towards a purchase. That will almost pay for a smaller batt!
Hope this finds you well and happy spinning!
