- This is a One of a Kind, Variegated Hand-spun yarn created by me with great love and attention to detail on my Louet S15 spinning wheel.

- When worked up, each skein will self stripe through varying shades of Pink, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple with lovely Sparkly Rainbow Firestar accents. The stripes of color are a medium length, and are very heathered which makes a delightful complexity of color depth in your finished project. 
 

- This yarn is perfect for adding excitement to your own unique crocheting, weaving or knitting creations! 

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

  • The Blue Faced Leicester wool is beautifully warm and squishy with a delightful spring.
  • The Merino Wool adds softness to the blend.
  • The Firestar (a sparkly nylon fiber) adds durability and shine.

This yarn will be a joy to work with, (and to wear!)

How Was This Yarn Made?

To create this Yarn:

  • I started with 2 braids of very soft Blue Faced Leicester Wool Hand Dyed by Megs and Co.
  • I paired them with a Merino/ Rainbow Firestar blend Hand Dyed by Shirsty Cat Designs.
  • I separated all the braids into small chunks, and spun everything together, drafting both colors simultaneously to blend them as they are spun.

The finished yarn was inspired by enchanted fairytales - pink princesses, and pastel magical rainbow colors.
