It seems to have been a very chocolatey (?) year. What with spinning chocolate yarns earlier in the year, and ending the year with Chocolate at Experimental Spinning on Saturday.
For the last couple of years, we've been finishing off in December with a celebratory fibre sandwich. This is a wonderful way to do something as a group, to bust a little stash and generally share.
This year the theme was Chocolate, of course! We started with a layer of chocolate, consisting of chocolate fleece, tops and some caramel fleece. Then a layer of strawberry jam...it was turning into a chocolate cake. This was made up of silk waste, wool top, cut up fabric, all red, then a little bit of cream, another layer of chocolate and caramel. We finished it off with sprinkles, cut up cotton threads.
This was split up into the number of people who participated and we each spun our portion of the cake.

Oh yummy! The chocolate cake yarn is actually making my mouth water:) Sorry I missed it.
Yum!
Looks good enough to eat.
(I'm also picturing one of those chocolate blocks you can get with the variety of fillings in them - strawberry, pineapple, caramel ... )
That looks lovely so beautiful with all of the colours. What will you use the yarn for?
