Artificial Turf - Handspun Art Yarn with Daisies and Beads

Description

When I received the fibre I used for this yarn, I was quite shocked, to be honest. It was a huge pile of glittering stuff and I was at a loss what to do with that oddity. I testspun a little and then it hit me - another flowery meadow would not only be great, but would also look like those patches of artificial turf you can buy for decoration - which I don't really like as such, but which would be hilarious as a yarn. I came to like the strange fibre, after all ;-)

Apart from that odd fleece (which is made of merino and nylon glittery fibre), I used glass beads of red and yellow for more flowery effect and, of course, the daisies you can clearly see poking through everywhere. The beads and flowers have been strung onto sewing thread with which the yarn has been plied.
The fibre is not as soft as pure merino wool, so if you're sensitive the yarn might be better suited for a purse or something else not worn directly on the skin.
