Trickle down economics (sold)

Trickle down economics, the yarn. Featured in this week's podcast, episode 2. Listen to hear all the details of how it was spun. It's spun to be knitted into an object witha clear top and bottom (so, not a scarf). It's got everything from the blood of the people, the blood of the land, and the blood of some poor guy in the way of a union buster. The top is white soysilk and superwash wool with gold cocoons and recycled bottle fiber with long handfelted oil streaks hanging down and plied with an earth strand,bumped up in random places. The yarn shifts to have more color, and less gold, the wool is no longer superwash. More and more color, big bubbled of nobly red, little handmade bloodied workers, guns, supercoils, and blood locks flow free at the end. The whole thing is plied with an earthy painted single, showing more at the top, less at the bottom. Yeah, symbolism. Thanks ronny!

PS. the price is supa high, isn't it? I blame high oil prices.
