200g Handspun colour gradient yarn in wool & yank blend, light DK weight – purple, teal, grey, pink, yellow, orange
This skein was handspun by Suzie from a soft and luxurious and unusual fibre blend. It combines two different gradient braids dyed by Hilltop Cloud in Wales, plied together for a ‘barber pole’ double gradient effect. It is a one-of-a-kind. Rose fibre is a sustainable cellulose with a lustrous, smooth texture. Yak is a very fine fibre (15-19 micron) with excellent drape, and is a sustainable alternative to cashmere.
It is a bouncy yarn that feels great against the skin. It is spun as a smooth yarn with a 2 ply structure, spun with a high twist, giving these fine fibres extra resilience. It is ideal for weaving, and for simple knitting and crochet stitches that let its beautiful texture and colour effect shine through.
