ABOUT MY HANDSPUN YARN
Each skein of handspun yarn is a unique creation. I have been spinning since 2003, and I love created handspun yarn that truly looks handspun with variation and extra features. This yarn is fantastic for knitting and for weaving. For knitting, I recommend going up a needle size or two in order to allow the extra space for the thicker parts. For weaving, I love using handspun as the weft. There's nothing like it!
Girl with a Pearl Earring was inspired by the Vermeer's painting by the same name. I spun this as a soft two-ply thick and thin yarn. It has merino wool, baby alpaca, and three kinds of silk! The silk types are mulberry silk, muga silk, and eri silk.
