orion handspun

posted on by Lee Cattarin

3 skeins of handspun yarn, 1 large and 2 small. One of the small skeins is a little more inconsistent weight than the other two - this one was spun on drop spindle about 2 years ago. The other two are about a sport or maybe a DK weight. All three are a gold colorway with tiny hints of orange and a pale light green.

Fiber: Merino/silk 70/30 from Jakira Farms in colorway Orion

  1. 3 skeins, one small and two large, of a rich golden-orange handspun with light tonal effects, in about a DK weight
