- This is a One of a Kind, Variegated Hand-spun yarn created by me with great love and attention to detail on my Louet S15 spinning wheel.
- When worked up, each skein will subtly self stripe through Maroon, Red, Grey, Blue, Yellow, and Brown with lovely Silky Tencel and Banana Fiber Accents. The stripes of color are a medium length, and very heathered 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 made Rolags on my Blending Board combining a beautiful hand dyed blend of Merino and Tencel with some natural undyed Tencel and Banana Fiber.
- I spun these Rolags up for my first ply, and plyed it with some lovely combed Merino Wool Top from the Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool Festival.
