Not sure about this yarn....

I've started spinning this roving up and to be quite honest, I'm not sure I'm really in love with the colors. I'm not really sure if I'm even in like with the colors. I've looked at the colors a number of times and the only name for the colorway that comes to mind is "exploding clown". Have I mentioned I hate clowns. Hate them. White faces, red wigs, big noses, and floppy shoes totally creep me out. I have tried smiling at clowns at parties as they make cute balloon animals for my kids, but my internal dialog just consists of "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
Anyhow, here's the roving and yarn. What do you think?
I just looked out on the web (wonderful thing, the web) and I think I just found the genesis of my clown problem. I watched an enormous amount of the original Scooby Doo when I was a kid. Learned a lot: Dogs and teenage boys can be bought with food. Creepy music always preceeds the villian appearing. Meddling kids always solve the mystery. etc. There was an episode called Bedlam in the Bigtop and here's the Ghost Clown. It's pretty much the way I see any clown no matter what they actually look like.
Oh, yeah. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Another important lesson learned from Scooby Doo: We have nothing to fear but fear itself and crooked real estate developers.
