Description

Violet purple and rose pink make such a delightful colour combination and that is exactly what you get in this gorgeously sparkly handspun yarn.

I spun this yarn on my wheel using mostly some delightful Blue Faced Leicester wool (commonly known as BFL), plus a bit of soft soft Llama and finally a little bit of cute sparkle. 

This skein of yarn is mostly Sport weight (with slight variations only handspun yarn has) and there’s a total of 287 yards or 262 meters waiting for you to turn it into something glorious to hang out in your very own handmade wardrobe.

The joy of a handspun yarn

Hand spun yarns are simply special and full of character: they have a touch and feel that commercial yarn simply can’t imitate.

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.

Be a part of this amazing handmade artistry.

A word on colour accuracy

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.
