Kingfisher was inspired both by the poem by Hopkins called "Kingfishers Catch Fire" and the beautiful little bird. I included a photo of the bird as the last photo.
The colors include several shades of blue, a couple shades of orange, black, and white.
I decided to dye this top on lovely organic Polwarth.
Polwarth is one of the fibers I recommend to new spinners because it's almost as soft as merino, but it has a longer staple length, which makes it easier to spin. It also has a little more loft to it.
