hand spun yarn list.wps - Skybluepink

Jennie Howes' hand spun yarns
All yarns are 2 ply, worsted yarns (spun from combed tops) unless
otherwise stated.
Apart from the merino/silk blend yarns, all the other yarns are
natural fleece/hair colours, not dyed.
All yarns have been hand spun by me on my Ashford Traditional
spinning wheel.
