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.

How Was This Yarn Made?
How Was This Yarn Made?
To create this Yarn:
- I spun up a beautiful Romney/ Alpaca/ Ramie blend Hand Dyed by Inglenook Fibers.
- 1 paired it with companion Rolags I made on my Blending Board combining 4 accent colors of Romney wool with some Tussah Silk for shine.
The finished yarn was inspired by the rainy weather we always get here in the northeast during April :)
