I spin yarn to relax, often in front of the TV with the cat by my side. It's time spent with my vintage Ashford wheel and lovely fibre. This means I produce a truly handspun yarn (no electricity, just treadling foot power) which naturally has some variation. That's what gives handspun yarn it's character and life. It also means I don't spin to order. What I've listed here is spun and ready to go.

Full description
Aran/worsted weight hand dyed and handspun yarn, 48g (93m) or 50g (84m)
This yarn is spun from welsh mountain/blue faced Leicester cross sheep, from the Cambrian Wool Community Interest Company. These sheep produce wool with beautiful sheen, and incredible bounce, and a long staple length.The fibre was hand dyed (not by me) in Wales too.
I've spun the 2 ply using the 5 different colours in sequence. When I ply the two singles together the colours combine to give a striking barber pole or mark effect. It's not exactly a 'self striping' yarn but it will move through the colours as you use it.
I have two skeins of this yarn available, both were spun from the same batch of fibre so match colourwise but were spun very slightly differently. This has given us skeins of slightly different thickness - Skein 1 is around 11 wpi (wraps per inch) and Skein 2 is 9 wpi They are both in the aran or worsted range and I'd be happy to knit them together but you are welcome to choose between them.
Cool handwash, dry flat. This fibre will felt. I wet finish all my yarn which helps eliminate any loose dye, however, it's always sensible to wash dark colours separately, just in case!
