Plum Divine 2009
Hand Spun Art Yarn

Here is one of my favorite colorways spun up for the third time in 2009! I really wanted to "retire" this color in 2009, but I can't seem to stay away from it! So, I have decided I will continue to spin it in 2009, but it will be slightly different each time AND I will not take custom orders for it.

This is a hand spun art yarn, spun by me from hand dyed merino wool, hand dyed by the Yarn Wench in color "plumgrove". This batch is quintessential "Plum Divine", with the color focus being on the dark plum purple and green/chartreuse. I accented the chartreuse by including snippets of Skacel "Punk" yarn in a bright green/chartreuse color. Other yarns included are shades of green (olive and lime), dark plum, burgundy and a couple of yellows. Plied with the same bright green thread as always.

One of three skeins that were spun the same, here are the other two:

If you would like to see how this would knit up, here is a scarf I knit with an 86 yard skein, using size 15 needles -
