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.

How Was This Yarn Made?
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.
