Description
Let’s talk chain-plied yarns. It’s a type of hand spun yarn that keeps the colour blocks together in the order you spun (no “barber polling”), and because it is a 3-ply construction, the thread is rounder than a 2-ply and therefore much better suited for knitting projects with cables.
This was spun using a lovely hand dyed wool top comprised of 80% superwash merino wool and 20% nylon. Soft, sturdy, and won’t felt!
I really like the ultramarine blue and the way it contrasts with the rich orange, the yellow and soft pink sections. This is a hand spun yarn that holds visual attention and would look great in a hat or cowl.
With 163 yards of mostly Worsted weight to knit or crochet with, you can create the most fun multicolour project to wear or show off. I started the adventure by hand spinning this fibre, now it’s your turn to continue the wool’s creative journey.
The unique journey of a hand spun yarn
Hand spun yarns are special and full of character. They have a personality that commercial yarn just can’t get close to. Each yard of fibre has passed through the spinner’s loving hand to become what it is now: a glorious, squishy skein waiting for your imagination to turn into a knitting or crochet project you can be proud of.
When crafting with handspun, you are picking up the spinner’s work, continuing the fibre’s journey, and making it your own.
