Description
This is a really beautiful, soft, multi-textured art yarn in gorgeous sea blue tones.
To create this I spun some hand dyed merino and silk blend roving (70/30) into a slightly thick and thin singles yarn. I then plied this around a commercial laceweight linen yarn to create a multi-textured art yarn incorporating spiral and coiled sections randomly spaced throughout. This is a time consuming process – if rushed the resulting yarn becomes tight and twisty rather than soft and bouncy.
There is just one skein skein of this yarn weighing approx. 55g and measuring approx 50m in length, 6-7 WPI so approx aran to bulky weight overall.
(The ruler in the photos is an imperial measurement (inches) ruler.)
This yarn is lovely and soft and light and would be great incorporated into scarves, cowls, hats or freeform knitting or weaving projects. Alternatively use your imagination – make a wall hanging, combine with some strings of beads to create a textile necklace – the possibilities are endless!
Cool handwash only unless aiming to felt.

Wharfedale Woolworks began in 2010, when I took redundancy from ma dull office job and opened an online shop, originally offering hand-dyed yarns and fibres. After completing a Masters degree and taking on a new job I no longer had time to dye on a regular basis, so took a break for a couple of years. This year, after reducing working hours for a better work-life balance I am now re-opening and offering hand dyed yarns, handspun art yarns, prepared fibres in different formats for spinning and also some luxury hand knits and woven textile wall hangings.
I am autistic and suffer from fibromyalgia and depression. I’m also awaiting assessment for ADHD, so all of my fibre related activities are highly therapeutic and restorative. I take great pride in my work and I value my time, so items are priced to account fairly for this. I hope you gain as much enjoyment from my products as I did from their creation.
