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.

How Was This Yarn Made?
How Was This Yarn Made?
To create this Yarn:
- I spun up a beautiful Merino/Tencel braid Hand Dyed by Spinaway Farms.
- I then paired it with companion Batts I made on my Drum Carding combining 4 accent colors of Merino wools with some Angora, Nylon and Tencel for shine.
- I spun both separately and plied them together.
The finished yarn was inspired by the soft pinks, purples and greens of perennial plants peeking through a blanket of snow!
