Susan Ringler/Out of Step Yarn

This skein is inspired by the song “The Day The World Turned Dayglo” by X-Ray Spex. It’s a bulky weight of natural black Shetland cross, dayglo pink and orange with angelina sparkle plied with a black cotton thread.

Spun under the influence of the ever so haunting...Cat Power, "The Greatest".

"Nightswimming" was created while I was thinking about R.E.M.'s song of the same title. R.E.M. is my favorite band and their music has helped me through many tough times. The yarn is constructed from different blue shades of mostly Border Leicester fleece with a small amount of Shetland. Added in is some black flash to simulate the water sparkling under the moonlight and white silk to show the big areas of light reflection. This single was thread plied with turquoise
Infinity soysilk.

September Cones
This is an ode to my ongoing love affair with Robyn Hitchcock, crafted for my favorite song, September Cones. On a mild Autumn day, my little boy and I gathered all the tiny fir cones for this piece, and then strung them up with bits of mohair thread. Some of the fir cones did not like this, but the survivors were spun right into a yarn made from a handcarded batt consisting of Coopworth wool, straw-colored sari silk, raw flax and natural chocolate-brown alpaca. Also added to this bulky single were needle-felted Autumn leaves...oak and other..."right from my skin, down to my bones..." oh, Robyn.
