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, warm, and moisture wicking.
- The Tencel (a silky eco-friendly plant fiber) adds durability, shine, and a gorgeous drape.
- Due to the super washing process, the Superwash wool doesn't felt - which gives it more stability 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 two beautiful Superwash Merino/ Tencel blend braids Hand Dyed by Spinaway Farms.
- Each Braid had been hand dyed separately, but with complimentary colors.
- I spun each braid separately and plied them together.
The finished yarn reminded me of the bright yellows and oranges of sunbeam dancing along the pinks and purples of a parasol!
