Fortune Teller is a pretty, self striping, handspun yarn in unique, self striping lilac, peach, and mahogany.
Mo purchased hand dyed, superwash merino pencil roving from a fellow fiber artist. The wool was an interesting mix of warm peach, bold purple, and mahogany brown. Mo spun the soft wool a delicate, laceweight on her Majacraft Pioneer wheel, adding extra twist. She chain plied the yarn to create a beautiful, strong skein. It came out so pretty in gently self striping colors. Because it is plied, it is perfect for more hard wearing items like elbows, mittens, or socks. This silky, worsted weight skein is next to skin soft. Extra large skein size!

This yarn is ready to ship - the skein in the photographs is the one I'll be sending home to you! Please remember that your monitor may display colors differently than mine. Color is close, but should be considered approximate. Thanks!
Fine Lime yarn is put up in a 1 yard hank, which is nice for winding by hand. UPON REQUEST, I will put your yarn in a center pull ball, free of charge. Please do not store the yarn in a ball. Use balls as soon as possible for the most beautiful results.
