Tropical Treasures Handspun Yarn

from $25.00

Handspun yarn in weight 5/bulky thick-and-thin spiral ply, spun from batts consisting of 75% wool (Cheviot, CVM, Columbia/Rambouillet cross), 20% Tussah silk, and 5% soysilk plied with Merino/silk thread. The yarn measures 8 wpi. The yarn has been extensively fulled for durability.

Two skeins available: 2.2 oz/47 yards and 2.4 oz/73 yards.

The yarn is finished with a Z twist, meaning it may feel more natural to crocheters and Continental knitters than the majority of commercial yarns - but English knitters needn’t feel left out; it can be knitted that way too! As for weaving, it would make a lovely weft.

Photos are taken in natural light with as much color fidelity as possible, but please remember that screens vary, so from one device to another it may appear slightly different.

Yarn is wrapped in a hank. Caking is available upon request.

All my fibers are spun, blended, and dyed in a smoke free, pet friendly home. 

Care instructions: hand wash finished items in cool to lukewarm water, with gentle detergent or baby shampoo. Do not subject to harsh scrubbing/wringing or sudden temperature shocks when wet unless felting is desired. Reshape and dry flat.

This is a one of a kind item. If you are interested in a larger quantity or would like to purchase this colorway in another weight or in a different fiber blend, please reach out to me! I’d be thrilled to blend and spin up a batch to order. It will obviously vary to an extent from this skein, but the spirit will remain the same. Want to spin your own version? I’d be happy to help with that too! Drop me a line and I’ll blend some batts just for you.
