Spring Green Hand-Spun Targhee Yarn
Hand-spun and hand-dyed yarn, made right here in the studio! Each of my bulky yarns is made from extra squishy roving which I hand-dye one at a time using eco-friendly dyes (which means that each yarn turns out differently.) I then hand-spin the fiber on my spinning wheel.
- FIBER: Targhee Wool -- super squishy and soft
- WEIGHT: Bulky
- YARDS: Appx. 50
- COLORWAY: Bright green with hints of yellow
- CARE: Handwash cold
- Dyed and spun by hand (with a traditional spinning wheel!)
What can you make with a skein of this bulky, squishy yarn? This yarn is perfect as an accent in super chunky sweaters, perfect for a hat (you might be able to get a full hat out of it depending on the pattern or your knitting, otherwise I recommend using it in combination with a solid commercial yarn and doing stripes!), a chunky cowl mixed with commercial yarn, mittens or an ear warmer.
