Let your imagination run free

These are my newest handspun yarns listed in my Etsy store.


First is Seashells Thick-N-Thin:

SEASHELLS THICK-N-THIN

Handspun two-ply yarn spun from rovings purchased from CJ Kopec Creations on etsy. 100% Corriedale wool in soft peachy/coral and buttery yellow. Plyed with a coral rose colored cotton/poly thread. Corriedale is not ultra soft but this yarn turned out fluffier and softer than I expected. Beautiful color.

75 yards and 1.7 ounces. This is a worsted weight yarn with 700 yards per pound. Hand wash cool, lay flat to dry.

10 wpi - 7-9 needle recommended or hook size G-H. If I was knitting with it I would use a larger sized needle to create a more open look to show off the colors and the fluffy fuzzy texture!


Next is Seashells w/ Bling:

SEASHELLS w/ BLING

Handspun two-ply yarn spun from rovings purchased from CJ Kopec Creations here on etsy. 100% Corriedale wool in soft peachy/coral and buttery yellow. Plyed with a gold thread. Corriedale is not ultra soft but this yarn turned out fluffier and softer than I expected. Beautiful color.

174 yards and 1.7 ounces. This is a fingering weight yarn with 1600 yards per pound. Hand wash cool, lay flat to dry.

21 wpi - 1-3 needle recommended or hook size B, C or D. If I was knitting with it I would use a larger sized needle to create a more open look to show off the colors and the gold sparkle!

Thank you Jill. Regardless of whether I win or not, the yarns were a lot of fun to spin and I ended up with some gorgeous products for my store. ;o)

Thank you Jill! I forgot to put in the blog that they are my entries for the May Spin-A-Long for CJ Kopec Creations! If I win I get credit in her store...more fibery goodness... keeping my fingers crossed!
