Lady in red WIP

My latest work in progress is all in the name of intense red. This yarn will include hand dyed Merino, hand-processed naturally black Alpaca, red Mohair, sparkly threads in red and black and strung bright red sequins. There are also a whole variety of beads: 3 different shapes of red rocailles, anthracite shiny sequins, black oval beads, two sizes of matte golden beads and beautiful, big, red cut glass beads.



To me this yarn is the expression of a seductive woman, long black hair, wearing a gorgeous, dramatically sequined red dress and leaving wedding bands (the little golden beads) in her wake...

Thanks, it's great fun to tackle such themed yarns and find all the right things to put in them. :)
