I have spun it from hand dyed Bluefaced Leicester/Kid Mohair blend, using the corespinning technique to get this lofty, fluffy, gorgeously textured yarn. The fibre is not simply twisted as in normal yarns, but spun around a core thread. This fibre mix is perfect for the technique, I just love the texture! I added genuine freshwater pearls, sea shells, kyanite beads, and amethyst drops. This is another yarn it will be hard to part with.I also made an ocean-themed Treasury East which I like a lot - feel free to have a look and comment on it if you like it :-)

I love your yarn. I have started knitting again due to the pictures of art yarn. How do the sweaters come out with all the little beady things on it?
ReplyDeletelovely, beautiful, perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks, you two! :-) Your comments are very much appreciated!
ReplyDeletePinky, I have never made a sweater and our skeins are usually not enough to make one - art yarn is a hell of a lot of work and no one would pay the price of enough art yarn for such a large project, I suppose. But hats, scarves, shawls, wrist warmers, neck cuffs and other small projects are wonderful to make from art yarn. If you'd like, have a look at our made from art yarn section, there's pictures :-)
I think a sweater WOULD be lovely with all the beads and ribbons, by the way :-) Or maybe a sweater from plain yarn with art yarn bits (like cuffs, seems, a border or the like), that I imagine would be great, too.
Cheers,
Weird
It's like fluffy sea foam! The beads are lovely.
