When I drafted this fiber I did not like it. I did not understand why I bought it in the first place. I spun two of those pre-drafted nests, very thin, and thought I could not stand to spin the rest of it the same way. So I spun as thick as I could, which turned out a little thick/thin, and plied it together with the thin singles. It was not until I saw this photo of the finished yarn, that I started to like it. I took many photos, but this one I liked best.

Sometimes a big change in plans works out perfectly....BEAUTIFUL yarn!
It is a lovely colourway, and your yarn has wonderful texture.
I think it's gorgeous! And a perfect name for it, too!
my question is would you purchase from this vendor again?
You have created a lovely yarn from what you thought was a disaster fiber. This would make a wonderful hat or scarf.
it looks BEAUTIFUL!!
now, would you do it again?
It's beautiful. Has a lovely rustic texture. Glad you are happier now that you see it spun!
Oooh, beautiful!
The yarn is beautiful and the colors are lovely.
Did you know that Grand Tetons means big 'boobs'?
It's amazing how different yarns can look from their roving state.
I really like the look of the unspun fiber once you made it into nests. You're so much more adventurous with colors than I am. And spinning it into a novelty yarn - what a stroke of genius! It's sure to inspire you now!
I love how that yarn looks with the thick/thin textures!
