A few months ago I spun some yarn inspired by the box from a candle from Pacifica candles. Because of the bright colors some of the exposures on the photos I took were off. I meant to take new photos, but since I gave this yarn to my sister for Christmas I guess I just have to post what I’ve got!
I decided to make a 2 ply yarn using falklands 56 wool. So to start off I kettle dyed 2 lengths of wool. Both balls primarily used yellow and lime green. The left also had hot pink, brown, and a little olive. The right ball had some darker greens and olive.
Then I spun them both as singles.
Then I plied them together, making some hot pink supercoils.
Here is the finished product with the inspiration. I was really happy with how it came out.
You can see some more photos on the flickr set.
