Oxygen cuffs

So, for future reference, 30 yards of wirecore makes about five cuff-bracelet-bangle things. I really love how these came out, simple but durable and pretty. The Paco-vicuña cocoons are there, but subtle and you can either squish them narrow into a bangle or stretch them wide into a cuff. The best part, mostly for me, is that they don't take a week to make, so I'll be able to make a whole mess of them to add to my table for Renegade Austin and the spring Horseshoe market.

Horsehair art skein

I spun this guy up for displaying at the main branch of the DPL, where I'll be doing an art yarn drop spindling workshop in April 21st. It's a super bulky wirecore skein spun from a menagerie of fibers including curly horse hair that I scored from the Homestead Wool and Gift Farm. I named it after Rainbow Brite's favorite mode of transportation, Starlight. Or 'Starlight the Magnificent' as he'd rather be called.
I'm dropping it off on Monday and the library will also have some of my regular yarns for sale until the workshop, including some Sukoshi skeins. Go check it out!
