LITTLE PRINCESS COSTUME hand dyed handspun wool single yarn 89 grams/3 oz 110 yards

Description

This wool is from a mill and so may contain several different wools, including Cormo, Tunis, Corriedale, Merino as well as some Alpaca in differing amounts. I hand-dyed it and carded it with some cloud-soft peacock blue Merino and spun it into this gorgeous yarn!

The main picture was taken before the twist was set.

It is handspun into a thick and thin single, about heavy worsted weight. It is mostly pink and lavender, with bits of peacock blue. It is very soft and has NO glitz.

After spinning, the yarn was washed in gentle, scent-free pure soap to set the twist, and hung to dry. This yarn would make a GREAT felted bag, chunky lace capelet, or floppy sun hat!

THIS LISTING IS FOR ONE SKEIN ONLY!

First-time buyers get a "Somethin' FREE" because I appreciate your business!

This yarn will come to you delicately wrapped and wound into a center-pull ball. If you would rather have it in skein form, please let me know at checkout.

20% of the profits from my etsy listings (sales less listing fees, CoMS, and mailing supplies) are going to the building of a new Youth Center here in the Greater Knoxville area!

The remaining 80% of my listing proceeds this year will go toward my modeling audition/convention with the Christian agency, http://www.amtcworld.com. Thank you for contributing to this opportunity for me to be a light!
