Evolution of veggie yarn (as told my michel from GG)

Ze veggie yarn begins in a tub, a tub like anyother tub, but ze different tub, ze veggie tub. Ze veggie fiber is more zifficult to dye, or perhaps just zifferent. Zifferent dyes, zifferent prozess, indeed. I zoak, I dye, I wrap, I wait. I wait 48 hours to azzow a good zet of colours.

Ze fiber up for for zpinning today is Tencel, apparantly to be spoken with a bit of a funny inflection, according to ze woman on ze phone. Ten-Zel. Ten-zel, after being dyed, resembles a blob of pretty uh, I can not zay ze word. All fluffy and mezzy. Observe.

Howevah, much to my zurprise, with no comb or card, it spins all smoove and lovely. Zes, I had to add some zik and zin sections only to make it zook less perfect. Who wants their yarn all perfect? Not ze, could you imagine the looks I'd get with my funny accent and perfect yarn. No Zanks.

After I spun two bobbins of ze Ten-zel, I plied zem together (zough looser than I thought, but I wanted zem balanced, you know?). And ze most lovely, shiny, smooth, zilky yarn emerged. A yarn you can wash and dry, and muzerfuckin iron.

oh zes, jacey zould like me to zay, if you ordered yarn zesterday, ze peach fuz and ze forbidden forest. It's been zent, but your e-mail is not zetting her tell you. Zank you.
