say that five times fast.

wire-ply firefly copper corespun yarn!

it's a corespun yarn from an art batt. see that blob laying across the carder? that's an art batt from atomic blue. I wanted it slightly more carded for part of it, so i stripped part of it out and recarded it.

then, a lot of magic happened.

i corespun the yarn onto a fingering weight 100% peruvian wool base, then i spiral and coil plyed it the other direction with enamel-coated 32 gauge copper wire that mike found at weird stuff. i ended up with a nice thick-thin bulky weight.

i'm very pleased with the resulting yarn.
