She describes this 'Santa Monica Summer Sunset' batt fiber as a "beautiful sunrise colors of corals, pinks, fuchsias and yellows, with a hint of orange".
She used fluffy merino top, squooshy targhee fleece, soft corridale fleece, curly kid mohair locks and shiny bamboo. For the black shadows she swirled in some soft black merino, shiny black bamboo and a touch of black shimmery firestar. She added pink and orange sari silk for texture and LOTS of sparkle with firestar, and gold and shades of pink angelina.
Thats why I could spin it up into such a delicious art yarn! It was so easy to spin, I almost didn't need to be there!

Delicious, reminds me of some photos I have seen recently on flickr, of tropical fruits, taken in Rio.
I know practically nothing about spinning; I suppose that’s why I love being able to see the process. It is so amazing. These colors are indeed a tribute to the beautiful sunrises and sunsets worldwide. Your description of the batt fiber sounds like a recipe of exotic ingredients I’ve never heard of :) Thank you, so much, for expanding my horizons.
