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.

How Was This Yarn Made?
How Was This Yarn Made?
To create this Yarn:
- I spun up a 8 beautiful Gradient braids Hand Dyed by Inglenook Fibers.
- I split each braid into 8 pieces for each of the 8 skeins. I then spun them in order and plied them together, careful to maintain the gradient.
The finished yarn was inspired by the muted Blues, Greens, and Browns that I associate with the blustery Winter Wind whipping through the trees, reddening cheeks, and whistling in your ears!
