    The Clown Car Superwash Merino braid is so funny! Love the bright colors. Would make a great yarn for a child's sweater.

    Handpainted top like this is what drew me to spinning in the first place. If pressed, I would say the Quarantine Colorado is the one that most drew me eye.

    And Congratulations on the pregnancy!

    I'm just learning about Art Yarns, clearly Lylian Mae already has it figured out. The skein of spring is perfect. Wouldn't change a thing. The Texas Tea is very rich and deep looking.
    These are just 2 of many other beautiful creations.
