The Colors of Nature

I'm not sure why, because I neither knit nor crochet, but I just love all the handspun, hand dyed yarns on Etsy. I often search them out and use them in my Treasuries. While trying to think of an interesting way to post some of my macro flower photos, I thought of how nature is so often the inspiration for colors:

  3. Oh my, this is so beautiful! Thank you for the inspiration, I never even realized my yarn resembles honeysuckle. I love the flower/yarn combinations and associations, they're a work of art. Thank you so much for featuring us! :-)
    Oh - and I especially love the Lavender Fields yarn, wonderful texture!

  4. Beautiful, Suz! I, too, love those hand-spun yarns though I am not a knitter. I do have a box of beautiful yarns from back when I did some very simple weavings, and I now use those lovely, colorful yarns in wrapping my packages. But you've captured here exactly why I am drawn to these yarns... they speak of the colors of the natural world so beautifully!
