Hand Spun Yarn - 100% Untreated Merino Wool

This was such a lovely spin, I’m just loving how one braid can end up looking completely different on two different bobbins, but then collide together to create some seriously beautiful yarn!  have discounted this skein by 10$ due to a break in the yarn, my swift was spinning a little too fast during the re skeining process and sadly snapped in one place. Such a bummer but it happens.

This 100% Untreated Merino fibre was spun up into a fingering weight, 2 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 skein is 127 grams and approximately 644 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.
