Handspun merino yarn natural dyed lavender
<br />I spun two singles from some high grade merino tops, then self plied them. The resulting skein is soft and bouncy. I divided the yarn into three and natural dyed each part using different plant materials (see last picture)
<br />This is the lavender one, dyed with logwood.
<br />There is enough here to make some simple fingerless gloves, or it would be perfect to use as an accent yarn in a cushion or similar item or to create flowers etc. as embellishments.
<br />
<br />This listing consists of 1 skein 156 yards and approx. 40g
<br />See pic. against 1 inch ruler for accurate idea of gauge.
