Handspun Yarn
I am again Offering Beautiful one of a kind 1 & 2 ply handspun with Character and personality.
Each Skein varies slightly in its thickness, this is due to the unique nature of Hanspun Yarn.
All the yarn is spun on my Majacraft Saxonie spinning wheel, in a smoke free home.
Right now I am working on Blue Faced Leicester Top, Coopworth Top and British Top shot through with Tussah silk.
I try to buy fleece or Roving from local sheep farms, as I am no longer breeding my own sheep.
Time to time I will buy fleece from other small family owned Farms in the UK and for the very rare Gotland fleece, from NZ.
I buy only the highest quality fleece to use in making my Yarn. Find this is important for making a long lasting and wearing yarn. I use the "true Worsted Draw" when spinning my yarn, as it makes the yarn very smooth and lustrous.
I can offer custom handspun yarn from these breeds of sheep. Color and shades of fleece will vary.
Along with the above fleece I also offer yarn made with ..

Samples of the yarn I will have for sale at my Esty Online store.
Blue Faced Leicester, Ercu in color, two ply all ready rolled in a ball for easy use. It is known for its fairly fine, very soft and dense, demi-luster wool. Great for use as sweaters, scarfs, hats and so on.
Can see the thickness of the yarn via the penny. This Ball is more of a Fine or Sport weight yarn.
British Top in Medium dark green with 35% tussah silk colors of blue, purple, pink and green this is a luxury blend. Medium handle, nice luster but still suited for sweaters, hats, gloves, socks and so on.
I am in the process of spinning the first ply, to what will be a Two ply fine yarn.
