Recent find, is it a good one?

I recently purchased these fun looking yarns at the newly open Christmas Tree Shop in Fayetteville. I think they would be great for couching on under the sea blocks. When I read the label it states 'Do not iron'. Is this common with these types of yarn? They are 100% polyester. Should I strike them from my list of sea weed possibilities? I'd appreciate any input!

UTS continues

So I added rocks, beads and shells... ...some ribbon sea weed and needle woven fronds ...and beads and twisted gimp in pink and feather and fern stitches over some bias binding.

It went Under the Sea

my Half and Half round robin block that is! The guidelines required that we stitch a block in two colors. This is the naked (unembellished) block I sent out. It measures 10 1/2 inches within the stitching area.I really appreciate Amber, Lynn and Jenni stitching on my block. This is the block I received home. The ladies did some great stitching but I wanted to add some more to my ocean floor scene. I let the block sit for a while before I began. I'll do a second post. Blogger is having fun with me today!
