The first ply was a lovely hand spun of natural merino and corriedale spun on the Kiwi. The 2nd ply, due to the chunkiness of the monkeys was done on the drop spindle. Plied on to fine angora in rusts and browns from which the monkeys are lovingly dangling.. Spindling in the store was fantastic as incoming customers really just could not figure out what was going on. Seriously, my little friends were airborne. Each layer of wool started trapping them into this wee yarn prison.
I have been thinking about this yarn for months, searching out just the right rovings, ply yarn, perfect monkeys —I spent more time thinking about this than my finances (which is clearly not good). I am immensely satisfied—- like if I smoked, I’d be smoking one right now.
Now on the niddy noddy….
Now in a skein.

I may or may not sell this yarn. It is making me really happy right now.
What a lark! Monkeys always put a huge grin on my face and your yarn is no exception.
Love it!
If they were going to cart me away it would have happened ages ago….and it’s only going to get worse.
Coming from you Rita (artist!), that is quite a compliment.
Monkey yarn, too cool! Love your blog and all your new stuff. You truly are an artist!!!
someone call the authorities, she’s finally gone mad!

Thank you Sharon…If you don’t mind buying prefondled yarn??? I actually carried the yarn in my purse today for no reason and just kept opening my purse to look at it.
Leanne, there is only one thing better than monkey yarn and we know that is a crocheted ham.
There is nothing better than monkey yarn. Nothing.
You are my hero.
:]
this yarn is magical! I think it is amazing….if you do decide to sell it, I’d be interested!
