And the Winner is…

Thanks to all who posted comments to enter the random drawing for a copy of Lexi Boeger’s book, “Intertwined: The Art of Handspun Yarn, Modern Patterns and Creative Spinning.”

The winner is Arianie who posted the following about the wildest yarn she’s ever spun.

“My wildest yarn was one made out of lint, paper and xmas garland. Yes lint out of the clothes dryer. I’ve always wondered about lint whenever I take my laundry out to fold. There is so much lint between all the washing and drying but each time I threw them away because I thought there was not any use to them. The whirlpool gold dryer I had made lint fiber as compact as a batt. I actually had to have a cotton thread as a base and then added the lint onto it. After lint I thought of other things such as shredded paper– the ones that come out of the shredding machine in the office as well as unwanted shiny garland ribbons that came from Christmas decorations. The ultimate yarn was unique. It was crispy, nubby and with lots of sparkle. All this spun on my Louet. No I didn’t use it for any knitting project. It became a toy for my kitty cat.”

If you haven’t listened to my chat with Lexi Boeger, of Pluckyfluff fame, I encourage you to check it out.
