Nice Melons - Handspun Yarn

Description

Nicely textured handspun yarn in fresh melon shades of pink, orange, and green - or watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew. About worsted weight, slightly thick and thin. Would be great as a yummy pair of handwarmers, or whatever else you can dream up! 100 yards.

This yarn is 100% mill end wool. Finished items should be handwashed gently in cold water.

Please remember that colors may look different on different monitors.

Want your yarn wound into a center-pull ball? No problem! Just let me know when you purchase your yarn.

All Sarahbird items come from a smoke and pet-free home.

What can you do with handspun yarn?
Lots of things! Handspun yarn can be used like commercial yarn, to knit, crochet or weave. It’s also great for collages, mixed media work, scrapbooking, and any other crafty uses you can dream up. Or, if you like, you can just take it home and snuggle it. And of course, all Sarahbird yarns are one of a kind, so whatever your project is, you can create something completely unique.

What are mill ends?
Mill ends are wool from commercial spinning mills that for whatever reason didn’t make it all the way through to become yarn. This wool is sold at a discount, which I pass on to you in the form of lower prices! Since the wool is the same stuff used by commercial yarn companies, it’s very good quality, and since using mill ends means using something that might otherwise be thrown away, it’s recycling! So you’re getting high-quality, lower priced yarns, and doing something good for the environment at the same time!
