Handspun Bulky Merino Wool Yarn – November Autumn
November in West Virginia doesn't go quietly. It unfolds in a dazzling display of dogwood burgundy and birch gold, shimmering in the dark, tannin-rich river water. The air is filled with the cozy scent of woodsmoke and crisp coldness, along with a subtle, indescribable aroma that feels instantly familiar. It goes the way Margaret goes, unhurried, on the porch, with good yarn in her hands and nowhere else to be.

November Autumn is hand-spun in my West Virginia home from 100% ultra-fine Malabrigo Merino, chosen specifically for its extraordinary color saturation and that buttery, cloud-soft drape. A hand-guided 2-ply bulky weight, every yard is spun through the wheel with a rhythmic, organic character a commercial mill simply cannot reproduce. The process is the point.
This artisan chunky variegated yarn tells the whole story: moody river blues and deep coffee browns give way to brilliant gold, with small touches of quiet wine-colored huckleberry and deep sourwood burgundy woven throughout. It is richly layered, and genuinely opulent; the kind of luxury handspun bulky skein that makes you sit with it a minute, squeezing it before you even think about a pattern.
This yarn is for the project meant to be kept for years. Heirloom shawls, luxury accessories, pieces someone will still be wearing in twenty years, and people will still ask where it came from.
Looking to pair this with other shades for stranded colorwork? We also offer a dedicated half-skein length (approx. 110 yards), ideal for pairing with our cream yarn like Liberty without buying a full heavy skein.

Artist’s Note:
This is the yarn Margaret knitted on her porch, a seasonal story crafted to bring the feel of a crisp West Virginia morning into your hands. A limited seasonal release, November Autumn is spun exclusively for the harvest season and will not return to the wheel until next year. It is perfect for heirloom shawls and luxury accessories that feel like coming home.
Care Instructions:
To preserve the integrity of the natural fibers, we recommend a gentle hand wash in cool water with a premium wool wash (Eucalan). Lay flat to dry.
