I need some help on this one. I've just listed a new yarn, but am unsure as to whether one of the pictures is appropriate. Can someone take a look and give me their opinions? It's the latest post on my blog. Thanks a bunch!

Thanks Sue! I'll keep that in mind for the "fall" yarn...I'm just starting to work on my fall yarns this week :)

i agree with what everone else says.....your yarn is absolutely beautiful!! the pinkish one reminds me of raspberry italian ice! i could picture the "fall colors" yarn maybe with some tree branches as it reminds me of beautiful fall foliage. |

That is some of the prettiest yarn I have seen in a while.

It's beautiful!! I don't think it looks sticky at all. But, maybe a little buffer between the two is a good idea. :)

I think its a good idea-- and the yarn is beautiful. A full (uncut) watermelon in the background would make a nice photo.

It didn't bother me either. What true yarn addict or watermelon lover let the two actually touch? If you've gone to that much trouble to make the yarn I don't think you'd be careless and ruin it just for a picture. It is yummy looking yarn though. Good job!

I doesn't bother me, as I figure you would never allow the yarn to get ruined or the tasty watermelon to get full of fibers. Perhaps you could position some watermelon chucks in a bowl, set that bowl on a larger dish that holds the yarn. Set a utensil in there for fun too.

I think the picture is nice too. Love the colors of your yarn... looks so soft too! I have another suggestion... why not take a whole watermelon & slice off the end. You could then drape your yarn on the side that is not cut or in a bowl next to the cut melon (whole or slice).

Thanks so much for the encouragement AngiKay. Yep, I am definitely changing that pic! I'm so glad I asked the question!! There's nothing worse than a customer coming to your store, just to say "Ewwww"!

I love the yarn, I so wish I was not allergic to wool. I agree with the others as cool as the watermelon looks in the picture it does not look seperate even though you said that- A picture is worth a thousand words and sometimes people look at that and don't even read what you have said. Been there - done that. So I would seperate it some how. That yarn will fly out your store!

I think you are both right. Now that I look closer, it really does look as though it is touching and that is not good! Thank you so much!

I agree with Alee. The yarn is absolutely beautiful. Love the colors. But I would also be thinking that it might be sticky. I think some white between the yarn and watermelon would be perfect.

The colors are beautiful! I was thinking "Gee! That skein is going to be all sticky from the watermelon" and then I read the caption where you said it wasn't touching. I am not sure, but perhaps you need some white space between the yarn and melon slice?
