From the previous posting you can tell that for the third example in this series not only are we warmed up, but we are also starting to have fun with the whole layout and photograph part of the project. That is the benefit of an exercise, getting really “into it” and stretching the original ideas (and letting yourself be stretched in the process).
Kissy Lips, a Rare Roving Fish with Rolag Coral and Anemones (the starfish worked its way in when we weren’t looking!)
The wool colors that made up the Kissy Lips composition, including the hairpins that held it all together.
Dividing up the colors in preparation for carding. This stage helps to plan out the color progression throughout the skein. I think of it as creating a recipe for the yarn.
Further dividing up the wool for carding into each rolag.
All the carded rolags in order waiting to be spun. So far, none of this project has been somber!
Working name: “Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour”. Lively single S-twist yarn spun and wound onto a bobbin made by Bob Metcalf. As the carded wool transformed into yarn, the colors passing by reminded me of that famous ice cream parlor from our childhood, recalling smells and sounds (that drum that announced birthday sundaes was SO loud!) and brought back memories for friends too when I described the sensations.
The single was chain-plied with a “Z-twist” forming new color combinations throughout the length of the yarn. This time, instead of the yarn stirring up memories, the colors gave me ideas of combinations to try in the future. Every few inches was a color mixing sample swatch. More wool! More yarn! More time! Please!
Finished skein. 
What do you think Kissy Lips?
