more adventures in silk sari.
i’ve gone to the other side.
there is no turning back now.
the proof,
the marriage of three of my obsessions
bizarre love triangle
tinkle
coils
silk sari
and another sari yarn,(further evidence)
i guess i could stand to buy another pound of this stuff, granted it is pricey, and smelly.. i don’t think i talked about the smell of gasoline that it has, have i? well, yes! it took alot of washing! cigarette butts, peanuts, wood, and some UO’s. it’s all good, this stuff is the prettys!

Have you tried cutting up pieces and running it with wool in the drum carder? Fab!
