*Swatch pictured is knitted on Size 5 needles*
- 62% Super Soft, Hand Dyed Merino Wool, 38% Hand Dyed Tencel (an eco-friendly plant fiber)
- Only 2 skeins left - 1 at 106 yards, and 1 at 110 yards. Choose your length at checkout.
- This is a Gradient Skein: When worked up, each skein will start with Dark Grey, then move through Light Grey, Lime Green, Olive Green, Maroon, and then Bright Peach before moving back through the gradient and finishing the skein with Dark Grey again. The stripes of color are long and heathered, with lovely silk and Bamboo accents; which makes a delightful complexity of color depth in your finished project.
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 Inglenook Fibers.
- I then paired it with companion Rolags I made on my Blending Board combining 8 accent colors of Merino wool with some Tencel for shine.
- I spun both up and plied them together careful to maintain the gradient.
The finished yarn was inspired by the gorgeous color play of neutrals and bright accent colors found in the Ruby Throat Hummingbird!
