Hair of a Pirate - Handspun Art Yarn with Bone Skulls

Description

Arr!
Guess what this handspun art yarn was inspired by? Yes, Captain Jack Sparrow and other temerarious pirates.
Take your rapier, cutlass, rope - and, of course, knitting needles and this yarn - and board the next best ship heading for adventure!

This yarn has been spun in the core spinning technique, where the fibre is spun around a core thread with an angle of 90 degree (mostly) and which results in a wonderfully lofty and soft yarn with unique texture. I've used glossy alpaca fibre, fine merino wool, linen/flax and mulberry silk, all in black. Angelina (glittery fibre) of black and steel add sparkling highlights, as do beautiful, facetted glass beads of read that look like drops of blood. The main highlight are the skulls, though - carved from bone, they complete the piratey look and will surely get everyone's attention.

75 m (82 yards)
50 g (1,76 oz)
~ 10 wpi


Please rest assured that no pirate was killed, tortured, or harmed in any way while spinning this yarn!
