Yarn Design

I've been trying to use up my stored fiber as it will soon be shearing time again and I have such backlog.  I started carding some white mohair today.

I had some blue mohair that I had carded and dyed. 

Here's the  yarn it made.  Kinda pretty, I think.

Then I thought, wouldn't it be pretty to put the blue and the white mohair together.

There's still a bit of debris in it.  And here's the finished yarn.

I think that I like this better than the plain blue.  I'll call it clouds in a blue sky. :)

Mama Pea-I think I'll make a lap blanket out of it for a friend of mine in the nursing home. Mohair is very warm.
Thank you for your kind comments. I'll try to remember to post pics of the finished project.
