Luxury Handspun Merino Wool Yarn - The Tale of Orange Spice
There's a moment, just before sunset, when the Appalachian hills ignite with a golden glow. That's when I spin this yarn - when the light streaming through my window transforms everything it touches into a golden hue. Each twist of the wheel captures the essence of simmering citrus and warm spices, a color story that will continue in your hands.
This isn't your grandmother's wool (though she'd certainly approve). Masterfully handspun in my home in the hills, this superwash Merino tells a tale of luxury meets practicality. Deep orange mingles with hints of mossy green peeking through like forest shadows, creating a yarn that refuses to be seasonally typecast.
The fiber? Commercial-dyed Merino wool, selected for its vibrant personality and colorfast constitution. The spin? Consistently plied to perfection, with just enough character to remind you it's handcrafted. The result? A light worsted weight yarn that feels like butter and knits like a dream.
Perfect for:
- That sweater you've been dreaming about since Pinterest became a thing
- The shawl that makes strangers stop you for pattern details
- The hat that becomes your signature piece
Technical Details (because even artistry needs structure):
- Light worsted/DK weight for versatility
- Gauge: 18-20 stitches per 4 inches (for the detail-oriented among us)
- Recommended needle sizes: US 6-8 (4.0-5mm)
- Recommended crochet hooks: F-G
- Care: Gentle hand wash in room temperature water, lay flat to dry (treat it like the luxury it is)
Each skein comes with a generous yardage and a story all its own. Because some yarns aren't just yarn - they're the beginning of your next creative adventure.
Note: While technically superwash, this yarn prefers the spa treatment. Handle with care, and it'll love you right back.
