The Yak is combed or collected from the shedding process then de-haired, creating a soft, light, low micron count fiber at approximately 17. It is then blended with a high quality merino wool with a micron count of approximately 21. Remember, the lower the micron count, the finer the diameter of the wool, and the softer it will feel next to your skin! Just for

This yarn was spun on my little Ashford spinning wheel. I first handpainted roving consisting of 75% soft merino wool with a 15% mohair for extra sheen and softness, and then spun the yarn single ply. It is bulky and very soft and yummy and was spun to be thinner and thicker in places to create a lovely texture for knitting or crocheting. I love using this yarn as a novelty yarn in my felted hats. The color scheme of this yarn is a lovely combination of purple, magenta and yellow. 58 yards 67 grams 2.35

I'm enjoying the current vogue for 'tweed' yarns - they knit and crochet up very handsomely. This 100gr skein of wool is a dark chocolate with warm grey tweed - a gentle contrast very suggestive of mocha coffee. This yarn is made from a failed knitting project - I found a half knitted (could never have been worn) jumper with all the unused yarn, in a thrift shop. There were 3 colours of wool - a dark chocolate and two shades of grey, no ball bands so I can't be sure but the colours do look like natural,
