Custom Yarn from The Fine Lime

We've all been sick around here -- I don't know whether it's a cold or the flu -- or some hellish combination of both. But it is what it is.

The most fascinating part for me is the process the fiber goes through in order to become a finished product. This particular project started out as a braid from The Wild Hare Fiber Studio -- similar to the one shown in the upper right side of the photo below:
