This is the first yarn spun from wool carded on my new Ashford drum carder. I didn't realize till I'd finished spinning it, that all the colors reminded me of things from my childhood like: The Dick and Jane reading books from my little country grade school, glass marbles in the playground, the plaid taffeta bows on my pigtails, the red and green wooden kiddy kar my dad made for me, and the handpainted "MADE IN JAPAN" knicknacks I've always loved.
