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 6 beautiful Targhee/Silk/Bamboo Gradient braids Hand Dyed by Inglenook Fibers.
- I split each braid into 6 pieces for each of the 6 skeins.
- I then spun them in order and chain plied each one, careful to maintain the gradient.
The finished yarn was inspired by the contrast of Dark Greens and Whites of an Evergreen tree after a snowfall!
