made with soft as butter natural yarn

Oranje Boven is still on the spindle
and I'm in love
the colour, the spindle, the yarn

And this blue/red yarn is a special story
Received as a batt from Xiane (thanks again!)
divided it in 3 equal parts, and gave 1 to my mother and 1 to my sister
they are spinners too (yes I'm a lucky girl :))

We spin and make something of it,
and will show it to eachother at our trip to the sea in July
