Description

If you love soft, artisanal handspun yarn, this is for you. 

I spun this yarn using my hand dyed organic merino wool top. This skein is mostly a sock/fingering weight, in a 2-ply construction in lovely Spring and Summer colours such as yellow, orange, violet purple and pink. 

The handspun yarn shows off a subtle sheen due to the softness of the fibre – 23 microns is a very thin wool and great for next-to-skin projects.

There is a total of 443 yards/405 meters approximately for you to create something lovely with.

About handspun yarn

Hand spun yarns are full of character. They have variable textures throughout the thread because they are 100% made by human hands and, therefore, their weight (“thickness”) can vary a little or a lot, depending on the spinner’s intention.

When crafting with handspun, you are picking up the spinner’s work, continuing the fibre’s journey, and making it your own.

Be a part of this amazing handmade artistry.

A note on colour accuracy

Please be aware that product colours may vary according to different screen settings. Despite colours showing true on my monitor, I have no way of ascertaining what it might look on yours.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Keep yarn in a dry room away from direct sunlight. Airtight boxes are recommended. Don’t place anything heavy on top of the skein to avoid squishing it.
  • I recommend adding lavender sachets to the storage container for pest prevention.
  • Hand wash your finished product separately using wool-specific detergents, dry flat. Hand dyed fibres may bleed a little in the first couple of washes.
