Friday Fiber Arts-Spinning with seed beads

I wanted to add some beads to this skein which was spun on a spindle in Bolivia (100% alpaca of course!). I was shooting for something Indian as in Taj Mahal or the like. I didn't really like the original color so I dyed it my fav. Kool Aid. I love this stuff! It dyes wonderfully, is light fast and produces vibrant unique colors. The original shade of this yarn was a boring beige. Still I wasn't happy with final result even after the hip cherry Kool Aid dye. It really needed some bling! I love sparkles, vibrant colors, and overall shiny, glittering glitz. Hence the seed bead idea. I did not google this idea or check to see how it might be done. Why would I make this easy for myself? I just decided string a bunch of colored beads onto a metallic thread. All was going along well until I had to move the string and place it in a plastic bag. It got all bungled about and I spent 1 1 /2 hours untangling it so I could ply it with the yarn. Finally the plying took place and the result is below.
The thread I used is pretty strong and I am confident it will hold up nicely. I did hear a rumor about a bead stringer that I could buy. A few women were talking about it at the Michigan Fiber Festival and my ears perked up. I tried to find an example from one of the vendors but no luck! I just wanted to see what it looks like. The stringing and plying were a bit of a stress reliever. And I had fun apart from the untangling.
