Hand-Dyed Merino Sock Yarn -- Springtime in the City

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 06:57:18 -0400

$25.00
440 yards of 100% merino wool sock yarn -- enough for a generous pair of socks in whatever pattern catches your eye! I personally think it would be great for leaf motifs.

Shades of green and yellow accent each other to invoke thoughts of spring and summer, even in the dead of winter.

Happily hand-dyed in a quiet, home dye studio.

Thick/Thin Earthtone Handspun

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 06:57:18 -0400

$20.00
This thick/thin yarn was handspun from hand-dyed fiber purchased from Eastside Weavers in Troy, NY.

The fiber itself didn't have a colorway name, but I'm tempted to call the finished yarn "Sidney" for reasons of personal amusement.

Approximately 130 yards/85g of 100% wool yarn. Due to its thick/thin nature and the presence of occasional slubs, WPI varies throughout the skein. I'd say it goes between sport and worsted weights.

Good for hats, scarves, and anything else that won't suffer from having a little thick/thin style going on!
