Description
This article shares the experience of the Greater Birmingham Fiber Guild, which had a fiber colorway designed based upon a photo and then had guild members spin the fiber, with varying results. The guild wanted the photo to represent their local area and selected the Sloss Furnaces, which the article also describes. The resulting colors are gorgeous and the article includes photos of the fiber, some yarn, and a finiahed shawl project made with the guild’s colorway.
