Boogie's Bugs--set of 2 skeins

OK, so we have this runnung joke in the household, where I routinely freak out about the latest invasion of insects into the house (ants, crickets, meal moths, and earwigs have all been bothersome in the past year alone--and just this minute while typing this, 2 yellowjackets came in the screen door, blech). So, while I'm sleeping with one eye open, thinking about whatever bugs are the current plague, my husband yells 'MY BUGS!' at me--a line from 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' (a true Classic Tim Burton Film), where the famously evil Oogie Boogie loses his burlap covering, and all his bugs run away screaming 'my bugs, my bugs..." over and over . No doubt that Hubby feels that Oogie Boogie is my mascot! Anyhow--that's TMI--here's some info on this yarn:

Spun from a rustic and textured felting batt, for about 55 yards total. The black is a (not-so-soft) 70% Merino-30% Mohair blend with lumpy white globs in it, and hints of dark blue. I added sections of white Falkland wool, along with orange mohair that I coiled into 'worms' while plying. Sections of white sparkle and bits of greyish novelty yarn add depth, while 5 lovely rubbery (5 inch long) glowy centipedes finish this off. Plied with a textured white silk yarn. This is sold as a set of 2: Skein 1 is 25 yards, has 2 centipedes, Skein II has 30 yards, 3 centipedes.
