There is something about photographing yarn…

I just love to do it.  I don’t consider myself much of a photographer, but when it comes to yarn, it seems so easy to get really stunning photos…

To put the macro lens on and then get in there nice and tight, really get the detail of the fiber,  so close you can almost feel it…  almost smell it…

And when the light is soft, the sun setting at the end of a glorious summer day…  And when the yarn is pure silk that grabs that light…

And reflects it straight back to the camera, so the light seems to float, the yarn fairly glows before the lens…

Well, I find it really hard to stop taking pictures…

There’s a reason it’s called Yarn Porn!
