Ice Storm, Icelandic Wool/Glitz Handspun Yarn, Fingering/DK 2-ply 301 yds

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 14:46:56 -0500

$44.00
Deep blues with shimmery sparkle throughout - this is a beautiful skein of yarn! It was hand spun on my wheel after I pre-drafted the Icelandic wool and placed random strands of metallic glitz on top of the fiber. I only added the glitz to one of the plies to add the perfect amount of shimmer without too much bling as to out-shine the gorgeous dye on the wool.

Please let me know if you'd like me to wind the skein into a center-pull ball before shipping. Enjoy!

$56.00
This super-squooshy skein was hand-spun with soft, hand-dyed merino wool. It weighs 3.5 oz, and would make a lovely pair of socks or mitts. I spun this on my "stay-cation"... dreaming of Caribbean blues, sunshine, pina coladas, and shaved ice!

This skein makes me think of Jem & the Holograms... truly outrageous! Teal, lime green, dusky purple, and strands of metallic silver make this a fun blend. It would look fantastic as trim or as part of a novelty scarf. It is luxuriously soft.

This set was hand-knit with gorgeous, luxuriously soft angora yarn. The angora is brushed from adorable bunnies, is very warm, and feels incredible next to the skin! The pattern is a delicate lace, open and airy to show off the halo of the fibers. The cowl can be worn as a pinned scarf close to the neck (shawl pin is not included,) or on the shoulders. Wristwarmers are worn at the cuff and are an elegant accent to any wardrobe.
