100% Bluefaced leicester (BFL) wool , handspun into a DK weight yarn reminiscent of the deep oranges, reds, and yellows of the desert. This fiber was dyed by an independent dyer (I no longer remember who), not myself. Each skein has been washed and set to remove extra dye, but please wash separately until you are certain there are no longer any loose dye particles.

This skein is approximately 250 yards and weighs 3.8oz/107g.

This yarn was spun in a woolen style on a Schacht Sidekick spinning wheel. BFL wool can vary in softness, but let me assure you, this yarn came from a very soft fleece, making it suitable for next-to-skin use. It is actually difficult for me to part with this one!

This yarn is available as-is in hank form or it can be wound off into a ball. Note that if it is wound off into a ball it is NON RETURNABLE for any reason. The increase in cost is due to the extra shipping charges incurred as the yarn in a ball must be sent in a box rather than a padded envelope.

Please remember, this is handspun and there will be various textures and yarn weights throughout the skein. I do my best to accurately represent the overall size and nature of the yarn, but it will vary.

Care instructions: To prevent extreme shrinkage and felting, handwash gently in cold water, lay flat to dry. Do not machine dry. Do not agitate vigorously in water. Do not ring out -- press flat to express excess water.

This yarn was spun in a smoke-free, pet-friendly home.

The photos of my yarns may be altered in an effort to best represent the colors, but due to variances in monitors/screens, please note that these are best representations and may appear differently in person. If you are not happy with the color (or anything else about the yarn), you may return it in NEW condition (still in the skein, not in a ball or partially used) at your own shipping expense within 14 days of receipt for a refund (minus shipping).
