Wheel 'n' "Knew" Knarly Knots

As promised, the pics! First, my new wheel, named Betsy:

I can't believe how much faster it is making art yarn when you have the right equipment! I have no idea how much I've got on here, but I sure am having fun. I started out just blending some of the colors on my hand cards only a couple times to sort of mix the colors, and I liked it (yarn on right side of bobbin). Then, I made a monster batt on my drumcarder, where the colors got blended together far more (left side of bobbin). I do love the way the blend looks, but...not sure that's what Shelly wants, so I'll ask her.

I'm also going to experiment this time and ply it with something special - see what happens. If I don't like it...oh, well - then I'll know. Hopefully, it'll look really cool. DD seems to think it will!

IntroDUC ing...Knarly Knots™!

That's what we've (Shelly and I) named it: Fairyspun Knarly Knots. Whaddya think? It's definitely gnarly stuff. Looks like I stomped all over it before pulling it through my teeth.

Yuck.

No, I promise! I didn't! It just looks like it, I said.
