"Blue Suede Shoes" Hand-Spun Alpaca Yarn

I don't know WHY I give my yarn names!  Any other hand-spinners out there that does this?  

 It just seems like something that's been done by hand, from birthing the baby to raising the alpaca, to skirting, sorting, tumbling, washing, dyeing, carding, spinning, plying, skeining, and washing again ...

 ... ought to have a name!

I usually name it the first thing that comes to mind . . .

In this case, it is "Blue Suede Shoes"!

Summer Sky

Here is my latest hand-spun yarn . . .

I've listed it on Etsy and am calling it Summer Sky, thanks to my Facebook friends offering suggestions!  It's a pretty one.

I think it would be cute knit or crocheted into a hat or mittens.
