Thunderstorm Handspun Yarn

Description

The colors of this handspun yarn were inspired by the April storms theme of my etsyFAST team (Fiber arts street team).
I spun this grey and white mill end roving with natural black alpaca and merino symbolizing thunderhead clouds with touches of a funky green that reminds me of the color of a stormy sky, right before you should be grabbing the cat and heading to your basement. Interspersed with locks of snowy white lincoln wool; cause in Wisconsin in April, you just don't know when that rain will turn to snow. And plied with a french strand of cotton that is spotted with an abundance of glistening jet beads that look like raindrops.
All in all a beautifully elegant yarn to incorporate in a special project. Or just admire as you dream of sunny days.
