Fruit Salad

Just added Fruit Salad to Etsy. The roving is dyed by Susan of Spinning Bunny. The color of this yarn consists of raspberries, pineapple, watermelon, mandarin oranges, a little kiwi and a blueberry or two.I read somewhere online that mohair is nature's nylon. So this yarn should make a pair of durable socks.
