dyed angora wool batts

These are some batts I have been working on. These dyed spinning batts are a blend of angora rabbit fiber and soft wool. The colors are a blend of blues, violets and greens. These colors work very well together to produce a beautiful soft yarn.

Superwash merino wool sock yarn handpainted

I am offering two skeins of a superwash merino wool fingering weight sock yarn. The yarn is 90 percent superwash merino, and ten percent nylon. It is a four ply fingering weight yarn that has been hand-painted to undulating tones of teal, violet, butternut and cream. I call it "Arizona Evening." The yarn is perfect for socks, or any next to skin garment. It has that cool, soft comfort feel that you get with real merino wool. Each skein yields approximately 370 yards.

wool mohair blend batts

I have been making some gorgeous batts on my Pat Green drum carder, using some fine soft wool from a merino cross lamb, and some lovely mohair. I have dyed the wool to shades of violet, moss green and blue--teal, and a cerulean. The mohair is dyed grape. I have been swirling in spritzes of mohair to the wool onto the drum carder and am quite pleased with the results. I call these batts "Mediterranean Summer"

Machine knitting cone yarn thread for sale

I am offering more cone yarns for sale. These cones each weigh a little over a pound. The yarn is a thin polyester lace-weight, like a thick sewing or quilting thread. It works for machine knitting or serging as well as for embroidery or crochet. I use it in hand spinning to ply in with my wool singles to make a boucle yarn. It adds strength and color to your wools. You can also ply several of these together for a delightful novelty yarn. These cones are big, and will last you a very long time. I have the following colors:

cypress brown
silver
melon yellow
rose
lemon yellow
lilac
periwinkle blue
nile green (pale aqua)
blue-green (turquoise)
grass green
olive green
peacock blue
light wine rose
dark wine (burgundy)
goldenrod
dark apricot
copenhagen blue (slate)
graphite gray
apricot rose
petunia pink (almost fuschia)

Rayon lightweight cone yarn

These cones are 100 percent rayon. I have three available. They weight approximately 9 ounces each. The color is a very pleasing, translucent antique pink. They work especially well for weaving projects, but I use them also for plying with my wools and any singles that need to be strengthened or livened up a little. It's a lace weight yarn. I think it is lighter than my browser indicates. I call it "antique rose" --it is a shiny, but muted pink, like a pale pink rose petal, or some of the antique pinks you see in quilts. A lovely yarn.
