So many bright, happy colors....reds, yellows, blues with the streaks of the black baby alpaca for great contrast in this fun skein of handspun! I spun it to blend the colors for a marled effect. Merino is the old stand-by wool.....often the one you see in store bought knits......it's soft and can be easily worn around the neck. Add to that some sweetly soft black baby alpaca and some corriedale for sturdiness and you have an awesome skein of wonderful handspun.
Handspun yarn is, by nature, one of a kind and imperfect. All yarns are spun by me on my sweet spinning wheels in my smoke-free but dog friendly home in rural Utah and then soaked in a lovely lavender wash, dried and re-skeined and are ready to knit your treasures. My finished skeins are measured after drying and yardage is approximated to the best of my ability. Your gauge may vary when working it up. I always recommend swatching for gauge and colorfastness when working with hand dyed products. Some dye run-off may occur with the initial washing of hand dyed goods though my handspun is soaked before drying to minimize that.
I do my best to accurately photograph my yarn but monitors may differ. All my photos are taken outside in natural light. Please contact me with any questions before you purchase the yarn.
I'm happy to take orders for custom spinning for that special project. I have a large group of fibers you can choose from or you can purchase fiber elsewhere and have it sent to me. You'll pay for the cost of the fiber and the custom spinning.
