- 100% Hand Dyed (by me!) Superwash Merino Wool
- 4 skeins available - 1 at 100 yards, 3 at 110 yards. Choose your length at checkout.
- When worked up, each skein will self stripe through multiple shades of Blue, Purple, Green, Orange, Red, Yellow, and Pink. The stripes of color are fairly short in length, and are very heathered which makes a delightful complexity of color depth in your finished project.
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 Superwash Merino wool is beautifully soft and warm, and due to the super washing process, it doesn't felt!
This gives it more durability during wearing and cleaning.
This yarn will be a joy to work with, (and to wear.)
How Was This Yarn Made?
How Was This Yarn Made?
To create this Yarn:
- I Hand dyed some Superwash Merino Wool using a Hand Painting technique.
- I then spun half the wool in large chunks, and the other half into small pieces so when plied together, the colors mix together in new and exciting ways throughout the skein.
The finished yarn was inspired by the vibrant and varied colorplay at Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro!
