- This is a One of a Kind, Ombre Self-striping, Hand-spun yarn created by me with great love and attention to detail on my Louet S15 spinning wheel.
 
- This is a Gradient Skein: When worked up, each skein will start with Very Dark Evergreen, then move through Medium Green, Olive, Lime Green, Seafoam Green, Light Grayish Brown, and then finishes with Cream. 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.
 
- This yarn is perfect for adding excitement to your own unique crocheting, weaving or knitting creations! 

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

  • The Targhee wool is beautifully soft and springy.
  • The Silk adds extra warmth and a lustrous sheen.
  • The Bamboo Fiber (a silky eco-friendly plant fiber) adds durability and shine.

This yarn will be a joy to work with, (and to wear!)

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!
