One-of-a-Kind Luxury Handspun Merino Yarn in "Fading Foliage"
The Quiet, Muted Majesty of an Appalachian Autumn
It’s late October in the hills of West Virginia. A crisp, biting wind sweeps through the hollow, sending a cascade of brown, amber and mauve leaves dancing across the damp earth. You pull your collar up against the chill, breathing in the scent of deep woods and approaching winter, watching the vibrant summer ridge lines gracefully surrender to rich earth tones and soft, quiet ecru.
This is "Fading Foliage," a completely unique, one-of-a-kind colorway that will never be replicated exactly like this again. Every single yard of this premium 19.5-micron superfine Malabrigo Merino fiber is mindfully handspun right at my wheel in my home, transforming raw, masterfully dyed luxury fleece into an heirloom-quality Sport/DK weight yarn. The stunning, shifting tones practically beg to be knit into an elegant, lightweight cowl, cozy mittens, or a show-stopping fair isle sweater yoke.
Artisanal Craftsmanship for True Fiber Lovers
If you are tired of the flat, uniform texture of mass-produced commercial skeins, this handspun wool is the antidote. Because I spin exclusively with superfine Merino, the yarn retains an incredibly soft, next-to-skin feel.
Since this colorway is a true one-of-a-kind creation, make sure you secure enough yardage from the available variations below to complete your vision. Once these specific hanks are gone, this autumn moment is gone for good.
