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 Merino wool is beautifully soft, warm and moisture wicking.
- The Super wash Merino adds durability to the blend. Because of the super washing process, it's felt resistant, and makes it more stable 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 spun up several braids of beautifully hand dyed and super soft Merino Wool by Malabrigo.
- I spun half of the fiber in large chunks, and the other half 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 bright Pinks, Oranges and Yellows that flicker in the flames and how they contrast deliciously with the Purples of the dancer!
