- 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 Purple, Grey Olive Green, and Gold with lovely Tweed 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.Β

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

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 Merino wool is beautifully warm and soft.
  • The Bamboo fiber adds durability to the blend, as well as lovely sheen, and a gorgeous drape.
  • The Tweed Blend, made mostly of wool, adds texture.

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 Merino/Bamboo/Tweed blend, Hand Dyed by DnD Fibers.
  • I spun one braid in large chunks, and one braid in small strands so when plied together, the colors mix together in new and exciting ways throughout the skein.

The finished yarn was inspired by the mountain in "The Hobbit" where the dragon, Smaug resides. The dusky quality of the colors invokes the swirling mists that might have swirled the pinnacle of that mountain.
