Description
This blue and neon green hand spun yarn has a fun story. It was born out of curiosity: what would happen if I mixed spinning and plying techniques? A lovely yarn, that’s what!
I spun this yarn using a worsted spinning style on the blue thread, and a woollen style on the neon green. To top it off, I then chain-plied the blue and added the green singles yarn to the mix – the result is a 4-ply construction skein, with 3 plies blue and one green, but which look a lot like a 2-ply yarn visually.
I used my hand dyed BFL/bio-nylon wool top for the blue and some lovely Shetland roving I dyed green. This means you get a sturdy blue thread mixed with a fuzzier green one, resulting in this sort of Frankenstein constructed yarn that is a delight to look at and work with. You get the best of both worlds: strength and warmth combined.
The skein is has a nice round appearance (fabulous for knitting projects with cables, for example) and goes from Worsted to Chunky, changing along its length – a great testament to the varying nature of hand spun yarns.
There are approximately 166 yards/151 meters for you to knit, crochet or weave something lovely with. You can pair this blue and neon green hand spun with other yarns to make a larger project. Your imagination is the limit.
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.
