Thanks-taking

Oh boy. This one's another podcast yarn, look for it this holiday weekend on the next episode!

A big and bulky 2-ply that speaks more to the history of this country than the day in question. First it begins with a nice handpainted earthy wool, heavily coiled around that is natural bison fiber, because they used to be aplenty. Soon the earthy brown and green ply fades to browns and pinks, as the pink skinned man (white-y) landed and decided to make this his home.

Plied with the flesh tones is still bison, but the coils are less and less, also spun in are a few crosses, and some handfelted veggies (white man brought religion, natives shared harvest). Soon the Bison is no more and the pink and brown is plied with itself with the pink coiling more and more around the brown, choking it out. Less veggies and now a bit of uncarded red as the carnage began...then the blankets (no real smallpox contained). These cycle, few and many, as the cycle of violence and promises tended. Finally the brown becomes less as the red gory bits become more, white is added and soon it's nothing but white and pink...then just white.

Remember to be thankful for what you have, but don't forget to be kind and remember what others might not have.
