Handspun Bulky Merino Yarn in Tonal Blue
Color note: Freedom is a deep peacock blue with rich indigo tones in person. Lighting, cameras, and screen settings may make this tonal blue yarn appear brighter or more cobalt in photographs.
Freedom is a richly saturated handspun bulky yarn created for makers who want the character of artisan yarn in a versatile tonal color. Subtle shifts from deep blue to peacock and indigo move across the two plies, adding dimension without overwhelming textured stitches or colorwork.
This 100% Merino wool yarn can stand alone in a hat, cowl, scarf, or pair of mittens. It can also bring a calm, grounding contrast to variegated handspun yarns when you want the colorwork to remain lively but balanced.
What is Freedom handspun yarn best for?
Freedom is well suited to bulky weight hats, cowls, scarves, mittens, and colorwork accessories. Its tonal blue coloring highlights cables, ribbing, and other textured stitches while remaining easy to coordinate.
Can this bulky blue yarn be used for colorwork?
Yes. Freedom was designed with colorwork in mind. Use it with a light neutral for crisp contrast or pair it with a brighter variegated yarn to give the finished design structure without removing its personality.
Who spun Freedom?
Tim spun each skein at Forever Winding Wool in West Virginia from soft 100% Merino wool. Small variations within the yarn reflect the hands and rhythm of the spinner, giving every project the individual character of genuine handspun.
