What Can I Make With This Yarn?
What Can I Make With This Yarn?
Each skein of my Hand Spun Yarn is enough to make a Beret or Fingerless mitts*. Two skeins are enough for a Hat, Gloves, or Cowl*. Three or more are enough for a Shawl, Scarf, or mixed with your favorite solid color yarn, a Sweater*!
Hand Spun is great for making Shawls, Gloves, Hats, Scarves, and Socks. My Hand spun works particularly well as the yoke of a color-work sweater, or in the Nightshift Shawl Pattern.
*This estimate is dependent upon the pattern you choose.
Fiber Content Properties
Fiber Content Properties
- The Romney wool is durable and moisture-wicking
- The Angora is cloud soft, and incredibly warm
- The Tencel Fiber (a silky eco-friendly plant fiber) adds shine and a gorgeous drape.
This yarn will be a joy to work with, (and to wear!)
- My Angora fiber is sourced from Luna, the adorable English Angora Bunny lovingly cared for by my sister in upstate NY.
- The Romney Fiber came from a happy sheep just north of NYC whose fleece would have gone to the landfill, had I not saved it! I had the fleece processed by a family run mill, and I hand dyed it myself for your crafting pleasure!
How Was This Yarn Made?
How Was This Yarn Made?
To create this Yarn:
- I Hand Dyed some Romney wool using a gradient technique.
- I then made batts by blending the Romney on my Drum Carder with some Angora and Tencel Fiber.
- I spun up these batts separately, careful to maintain the gradient, and then I plyed them together.
The finished yarn was inspired by the color play of the costumes for 'Airs,' an iconic dance choreographed by Paul Taylor!
