City Lights. Hand painted, Corespun merino art yarn

Description

A simply beautiful skein of yarn!

I hand-painted the pure soft & squishy merino wool fleece for this yarn with eco-friendly dyes. Features beautiful shades of purple, blue, pinks, oranges, and creamy whites.. and so many variations in between. Pictures do not do justice on this one!

It was done using a fairly new technique in the spinning world- corespinning. The fleece is spun around a base core fibre (in this case cotton); making it possible for the yarn to be spun on a diagonal, as well as making an extremely strong yarn. Corespun yarns are great for showing off hand painted fleeces.

You get over 53 yards/48m of original handspun, hand-painted art yarn. Spun Bulky weight; use 5.5 - 8mm knitting needles, or 6.5 - 9mm crochet hook. Inclues lots of texture, thick to thin, bumpy, lumpy, and lush! Would make a great hat or neckwarmer. All my yarns have been set & pre-washed with a biodegradable yarn soap and come to you fresh & clean, ready for your next handmade project!
