General Information
All yarns are handspun on spindle or spinning wheel. Even the "regular" yarns are not as regular as machine-spun yarns - this is what gives them, and the items made from them, their unique character. Click on the pictures to get a detailed view. It will open in a new window.
If there is no picture next to a description, the yarn belongs to the same batch as the one in the previous picture.
Dyed yarns are not repeatable and dye lots are tiny. Even with white and natural-coloured yarns there can be slight variations from one batch to the next, depending on the sheep and shearing from which the wool comes. Therefore, please order as much as you will need for your project - or have a contingency plan in case you run out.
