Yarns Apart
Here I have two yarns 'Malachite' made from the Jacob fleece is tough and chunky and would make a great outdoor garment keeping out wind and rain.. A great colour with the natural black of the Jacob showing through and the white dyed a vibrant green.
'Pixie Dust' is a delicate yarn about DK weight and fairy light to touch and feel. It could be made up into a lovely evening garment and would look good knitted or crocheted in a lacey pattern. It has silver Angelina worked through the yarn

Pixie Dust
I am working on this yarn at the moment and the visiting children, all under 6 years, called it Pixie Dust. It is a mixture of cerise pink, pale rose pink and grey with a lot of silver Angelina. It is almost a pity to spin it as it looks like clouds of pink dust when it is passed through the diz. I am spinning it as finely as I am able and I think it will make a details on clothes for the evening on a Winter night
