Description
Handspun hand painted yarn Blue Faced Leicester wool red peach yellow green soft Autumn glow
<br />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)
<br />This one was spun from tops, so it is soft, smooth and fairly uniform.
<br />1 skein
<br />112 yards
<br />Approx. 90 grams
<br />
<br />Roughly Aran/chunky - so it is quick to knit up! See picture with 1 inch marker for better idea of gauge.
