HAND SPUN YARN

Hand spun then carded in the Arra Textiles Studio using a variety of hand dyed fibres to create bespoke colourways.
 
Most colourways have been made using a standard set of fibre shades, but as each has been blended by hand, they will all vary slightly to produce truly unique yarns. The merino fibres are beautifully soft and the silk adds a rich lustre blended through the batts, most yarns are single ply yarns which vary from thick to thin.
 
Perfect for weft yarns in weaving, knitting and crochet.
