Handspun Yarn

This is a small sampling of my handspun yarn. I spin a lot, usually 2 or 3 fleeces a year. I enjoy the process of taking a raw fleece and washing, carding, spinning and sometimes dyeing. I enjoy spinning Cormo, Corriedale, Romney and Shetland fleeces. Several of the skeins on this page are Suffolk which I think of as a meat sheep rather than a spinning sheep. The fleece was a give and I have to say I have really enjoyed it. It was very white and even. I spent a good portion of the spring spinning it. An enjoyable task. Sarah and I have been knitting with it all Fall and Winter and it’s almost gone. Most of our recent patterns were knit in this yarn. I’m in the process of sprinning a lovely corriedale fleece that I’ve added a bit of mohair to (for strength). It was my intent to use it for socks but it’s a little heavy for regular socks but makes wonderful boot socks. Sarah’s working on a pair right now. Sarah is our self striping queen and has come up with some lovely combinations. If there’s a special combination you’re looking for drop us an email and Sarah can probably create it.
