Product Description:

Handspun hand painted yarn Blue Faced Leicester wool red peach yellow green soft Autumn glow
This one has a wonderful soft glow - quite surprisingly subtle and delicate! I handspun the yarn from Blue Faced Leicester. I then hand painted it in a palette of gorgeous Autumn shades - crimson, peach, apricot and yellow, with a touch of gold and apple green as highlights. The yarn is self plied (before it was dyed, to keep the colours bright and separate)
This one was spun from tops, so it is soft, smooth and fairly uniform.
