Bird Yarn

Feb 01, 2009 16:28

Oh Hay y'all. I'm a making a list of yarns I want to dye! Basically I've decided that I want to start dyeing and selling my own yarn at some point in the near future, through etsy. I don't have the time or space right now but hopefully I'll be able to do a little bit over spring break and then maybe some over the summer. But so I was thinking that my first batch could be bird-inspired. So here's a list of the birds that I was looking at. Any suggestions? I'll take suggestions for any sort of neat yarn-theme, not just birds. And yeah, I did just get done with a similar bird project. I know. It happens.
A note- iridescence is out, I can't put that into natural fibers.


Here's the list. the first color listed is the primary, with everything else just splotches, but not necessarily of all the same amounts.

Caique: yellow, white, green, orange (possibly small bits of black)
Major Mitchell's cockatoo: white, pink, red, orange
Hyacinth Macaw: blue, grey, yellow
Keel-Billed Toucan: black, green, yellow, magenta, teal
Harpy Eagle: White, grey, black, yellow
Canada Goose: Dark Brown, tan, black, grey, white
Cardinal: Red, black, burnt sienna, small bits of yellow
Yiguirro: Brown, grey, pale yellow

yarn:bird
