One of a Kind Batch - 100 grams of Spinning Fibre - 100% Targhee - 23 Micron - Hand Dyed Combed Top

Targhee is a welcome addition to the spinning fibre selection here at Hidden Pond Yarns! Someone once said, 'Targhee simply WANTS to be yarn', and I find that to be so well put. A joy to spin, this fibre has a great grip to it, as well as a long staple length, making it less slippery to draft with than Merino can be. It's an untreated fibre, but still takes the dyes up in a bold and striking way. Some colour run off in the first few washes isn't uncommon, although I try my hardest to make sure all the acid dyes are set well and rinsed out properly. 

While I find this fibre to be soft enough for 'next to skin wear', some may find Targhee to be lightly more rustic than Merino. I love the bounciness and fullness of this fibre, I find the yarn I have been able to spin with this combed top to be nice and plump. 

I had the honour of sneaking this colourway onto my own spinning wheel and have included a photo of the finished yarn. A 3 ply, worsted weight yarn with lovely pops of colour within the deep blueish grey, was a joy to spin up!

This base is good for felting, but if you are not intending to felt your project, you'll want to be mindful when washing this yarn. Cold water, gentle hand wash only, and always lay flat to dry

23 Microns - Staple Length 4"-5"

The photo shown is a braid of approximately 200 grams. This product is sold in quantities of 100grams. 

I try my very best to capture the most accurate photos to best represent the colours, using natural light. 

I do not keep any of the dye recipes for this product, each batch is a one of a kind creation. If you like what you see, grab the quantity you need while you can!
