Hand Dyed & Hand Spun Wool and Alpaca Yarn - Tyrian - $39.99

This is one of my new yarns I recently spun. I love dying up the fleeces and blending the wool on my carder and seeing how it will all turn out. I am never really quite sure until I get to the spinning!

Due to the fact that it is hand spun the thickness and twist of this yarn vary slightly throughout the skein. I do my best not to have knots, but there occasionally a join in the yarn.

There is enough yarn here for a small sweater, shrug, cowl, a scarf, hat, neck warmer, wrist warmers, etc. This wool is 100% felt-able wool/alpaca

WPI: 13
Size: Light Worsted

Hand Painted Cotton Yarn 500 Yards - Circus

This yarn has been hand painted with love by me. When I dye this type of yarn, I crochet or knit multiple strands together before dying. This allows me to make a batch or lot of skeins that match up. No more fraternal items.

There is enough yarn here for a scarf, towel, dishclothes, hat, neck warmer, wrist warmers, etc. This cotton has been processed with hot water and steamed. It should not shrink. The dyes will fade if the yarn is bleached, so if you are going to make kitchen items and want to preserve the color, instead of bleach I suggest you add some vinegar to the hot/warm wash water.

My Hubby really loves the dish clothes I made him out of this cotton! So I keep him stocked up....I will do whatever it takes to get out of doing dishes! lol

Well, I have been working hard to get all of my stuff in my etsy store.

I have some of it up and have made the following collages! It is a lot of work, but I am having a good time and I really want to get done with the admin stuff so I can get back to creating.

If anyone has any comments about the store, please share!
