Handspun Chunky Tasmanian Merino Art Yarn in Raspberry Red

Hand Spun Tasmanian Merino wool yarn in shades of reds and raspberry. This is a thick and thin yarn plied with a strong hand dyed mulberry silk thread.

Just imagine knitting this up into something soft and squishy to wrap yourself up into!

I have a free pattern for a basic Triangle Scarf that would work well with this yarn.

Hand dyed and spun from my Tasmanian superfine merino wool tops, this thick and thin yarn looks and feels gorgeous.

Wear it as a beanie, scarf, neck wrap or add some other yarns to it and make it go further. Think outside the square with these yarns to get the best out of them

Recommended Usage

This yarn is chunky and will knit into an easy chunky neck wrap, cowl or beanie. Use some larger than usual needles for these yarns and combine the yarn with other yarns found here to make up the yardage required. I usually encourage my lovely knitters to think outside the square and let the yarn tell the story when working with these. Of course this yarn will felt and you can use it as detailing for wet felting.

Needle sizes will vary depending on what you are going to knit or weave with these yarns. 

Care Instructions

This is a hand dyed and hand spun yarn, I recommend a very gentle hand wash with an approved wool wash, roll in a towel and gently spin. Lay you finished item out flat to dry.
