Even More Handspun Yarn
This is some of my favorite yarn of all this year. I made the first skein and loved it so much I spun a bunch more. Not my normal colors, but so so pretty in person. It has a delicate sparkle but reads as pretty neutral from a distance. Like a frosty field.
This is a 3 ply yarn. The first single is straight gray alpaca. The second is a strand of superwash tencel yarn spun from a roving I got from Yarn Barn in Kansas, in a very subtle grayed-rainbow colorway. The third is a silk single spun from my own hand dyed silk in Deep Woods. The singles were all spun pretty fine, so the final yarn is just barely a sock/sport weight yarn. This stuff is definitely going into a handwoven shawl.
