Light Sport Yarn
Approximately 425 yards of 85% wool, 15% nylon. Spun in Massachusetts from Massachusetts sheep. Great for socks (one skein will produce a pair of men's socks on Size 2 needles), vests, sweaters, etc. A hand-washable farm yarn. Each yarn skein has been rinsed in Eucalan after dyeing.
The photo at left represents typical colorways for this yarn. Although these yarns can be described as variegated, the color changes flow gradually to prevent the jarring "clown vomit" effect, described by Clara Parks, that discerning knitters worry about when considering variegated yarn. There are many one-of-a-kind colorways as well as four skein dye lots. I use a multiple-step dyeing process to increase the complexity of each colorway, and when possible I do not re-skein so that the customer can see how the colors flow into each other.
Light Sport Weigt Yarn is available at the fiber fairs at which I vend
my Etsy Shop, sojournerdesign.etsy.com

Northampton Wools
and from my studio by arrangement.
$19.00 per skein

| 03011307 2nd Dye Lot Evergreen: My favorite and the best seller; the color gradation is very subtle. Look for the lovely lace shawl knit with this yarn in the Customers' Gallery. Dye Lot 1: 1 skein left (slightly more subtle than Dye Lot 2) Dye Lot 2: 6 skeins left |
04011307 2nd Dye Lot Denim: the color gradation is more obvious in this dye lot than I had planned; it may not be appropriate in a laceweight project that emphasizes structure... still a lovely yarn! 6 skeins available, 415 yds each. |
01011307 Roses: Nice subtle color gradation. 3 skeins available, 415 yds each. |
Violets: I reached for periwinkles with my dyeing, but came up with violets instead; a happy failure! 7 skeins available, 415 yds each. |
