YARN
Goat hair, sheep "hair", llamas, yak!
Brown and grey and white and black!
Bamboo, cotton, flax, and hemp.
Polyester, acrylic ... remember Gimp?
Silk or possum, dog or cat ...
How about Davy Crockett's hat?
'Coon skin tail maybe sewed with jute ...
Even yarn from milk! Now that's a "hoot"!
Rayon, nylon, rabbit fur ...
Alpaca, cashmere ... It's all a blur!
So grab some string
And grab a hook! Or
Grab your sticks
And a pattern book!
Or just make it up
As you go along!
Easy or "froggy"!
It's the yarniacs' song!

(Cashmere is made from goats; mohair is from angora goats, angora yarn is from angora rabbits ... Crochet is done with one hook; knitting is done with 2 sticks that look sort of like pencils ... crocheting can be done only by hand; knitting can be done by machine ... men used to do the knitting, making rugs, etc.; women crocheted more delicate things ... and to "frog" something you are crocheting or knitting, is to "rip it, rip it"!)
About Me
- Netagene
- I am a member of the church of Christ. I have been writing things since I was little. Some have been printed, some posted. I write to teach or encourage; to blow off steam; and for fun! I had my own motorcycle in my 40s; I was a bluegrass music DJ for about 13 years; I've performed some. I am a member of the NRA. In 2003 (age 59), I became high partial legally blind; in 2005, I had to get hearing aids! Franklin Field said: "Poor eyes limit your sight; poor vision limits your deeds". And no kidding, the picture was made April, 2012!
