Autumn Gems Handspun Yarn

This Autumn Gems yarn was spun by Sand using a method called core spinning. The result is a beaded appearing yarn, with loft and shine, and the 60% Blue-faced Leicester wool/40% Silk fiber dyed by Woolgatherings spins up beautifully! There are textured areas throughout the yarn to create interest; we recommend using a larger needle or hook with an open, simple stitch to showcase the rich colours and texture. This would weave up as glorious textured weft yarn!
