Glitter pigeon

Or, here’s what I’ve been spinning lately.

My phone camera really doesn’t do justice to the beauty of that fiber. The fiber is from Abby’s Yarns, and is 50% merino, 49% silk, and 1% firestar. It looks pretty grey, but in natural light it has little highlights of pale green and lavender. And glitter, like a sparkly pigeon.

And how about that pretty spindle? That is a Greensleeves, a Damsel Monique. It holds a ton of yarn, yet is very lightweight considering the size of the whorl.

Glitter pigeon is the color name that Abby gave this. Just like a real pigeon, it looks like boring grey until you catch it in just the right light.
