Hand Spun Yarn - 100% Untreated Merino Wool

This 100% Untreated Merino fibre was spun up into a worsted weight, 3 ply yarn, using my Ashford E-Spinner.  

I used 22 Micron Untreated Merino Fibre to spin this yarn. You’ll need to be mindful of sharp temperature increases and decreases when washing this yarn, as it could felt if burned with hot water or put in the dryer. Some dye bleeding during the soaking process is normal with untreated wool, this one may run a little blue, even though its been bathed and soaked a few times already in an attempt to really get the water to ruin clear.

This jumbo skein is 259 grams and approximately 590 yards. A perfect amount of yardage for a contrast colour in a sweater, or shawl. The yarn itself is soft, and has great bounce to it, the colours are muted and soft.

Hand spun yarn is special to work with, as it really does have a personality of it’s own, compared to commercially spun yarn. It is, by nature, imperfect, making your hand knits even more wonderful and unique! 

Hand wash in cold water, lay flat to dry to preserve the dyes and quality of the fabric.
