This is a handspun yarn, carefully spun by hand using my trusty Kromski Fantasia spinning wheel. Each skein is unique, with natural variations and character which reflect the handmade process. This is a unique handspun yarn, you can't get this in the big craft stores!
Perfect for weaving, knitting or even crochet. This artisan yarn is made in one of a kind and will not be repeated. Yarn imagined, blended and hand spun by me, Kat With Wheels

Ready to ship. Packaged with care, using recycled materials where possible.

This yarn is produced in small batches using mindful, low-waste practices where possible. Once it is sold, it cannot be replicated exactly. However, I can make a larger batch of multiple of the same yarn upon request.  

Yarn is sold as a hank, as this best protects the fibres during storage. If you would like your yarn wound into a cake, please contact me before ordering or ensure you have the correct instructions for winding handspun yarn. I am not responsible for any mishandling of the product after purchase. If you need help or advice, please reach out first.

Care instructions: Hand wash only in cool water.  Use a mild detergent such as Eucalan. Lay flat to dry.

This yarn is made from natural fibres. Please be mindful of any fibre sensitivities or allergies before purchasing.

Please note: colours may vary slightly depending on screen settings. Due to the nature of handspun yarn, thickness may vary slightly throughout the skein.

Handspun yarn is not factory-made. Variations in thickness, twist, and colour are part of its character and charm. I always try to avoid knots, obvious joins or imperfections; however, due to the nature of handspun yarn and natural fibres, this cannot always be guaranteed. This is normal for artisan yarn and does not affect usability. Just rejoin the yarn as a new skein if it bothers you. 

Perfect for: Hand knitting, crochet projects, adding interest to jumpers/accessories, Indie yarn lovers, slow fashion and handmade textiles
