This yarn is handspun.  It is made centimeter by centimeter on my wheel or spindles with so much love and care.  It is made in the pockets of time between the daily tasks of motherhood, sometimes a few minutes at a time and very occasionally in longer chunks.  As such may have inconsistencies in grist, thick and thin spots, that are a part of its unique charm and add to the one of a kind nature of this skein.  These characteristics in the yarn add charm and texture to the final piece when it is worked up in your medium of choice (I recommend knitting, crochet, or weaving!) 

I generally spin from hand dyed fiber: there are no dye-lots and braids may vary slightly. Alternating skeins is recommended. Some discharge of dye in the first few washings is normal and to be expected, it can be triggered by changes in ph and mineral content of the wash and/or rinse water.  I dye in my home studio using well water whose ph and mineral content varies seasonally and may be different from yours.  

This skein measures over 2 yards in circumference.  If you do not have a giant swift to accommodate that circumference and would prefer to have your skein caked, please message me with your order and I will cake it for you.  All handspun yarns include optional winding services, free of charge.
