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 Corriedale and Cormo wools are beautifully soft and warm.
- The Romney wool is a harder wearing wool that gives durability to the blend.
- The Ramie Fiber (a silky eco-friendly plant fiber) adds shine, and a gorgeous drape.
This yarn will be a joy to work with, (and to wear!)
- The Romney Fiber came from a happy sheep just north of NYC whose fleece would have gone to the landfill, had I not saved it! I had the fleece processed by a family run mill, and I hand dyed it myself for your crafting pleasure!
How Was This Yarn Made?
How Was This Yarn Made?
To create this Yarn:
- I made two kinds of Rolags on my blending board.
- One in a purple to white gradient and the other in a brown to white gradient.
- I spun these rolags end to end and chain plyed them together.
