Holiday Sparkle is a plush, lipstick red, Fine Lime Signature thick and thin yarn, spiraled with sparkling silver thread and studded with shimmering, glass beads.
So lofty and bold, this skein is cozy and dramatic. Mo purchased beautiful, soft, factory dyed superfine merino wool combed top. She loved the rich, perfectly uniform color. Mo handspun this thick and thin, single ply yarn on a Majacraft Pioneer wheel. She hand strung coordinating glass beads on metallic silver thread and then ran the yarn back through her spinning wheel, spiraling it with the thread and slipping on the beads, one at a time. After spinning, she set the twist and allowed the yarn to bloom. Because its Signature thick and thin, this skein is super plush and ready for your biggest hooks and needles. This skein features saturated red color, spiraled with the glittering silver thread. It is lofty and super plush (Fine Lime style!) with a 19 micron count. This yarn is squishable and next to skin soft. The beads almost look like dewdrops - such a gorgeous effect! They have been strung freely on the plying threads so you can slide them to the front of your work.
