Handspun Yarn from Jennifer Hunt

It is always interesting to see your hand dyed fibers after

they have been created into new items whether that is hand

spun yarns or needle felted projects, here Jennifer has

shared the first yarn she has made from some of my hand

dyed rovings.

Thank You for sharing Jennifer! I love the color combinations!


"First project! Strand of your blue dyed with strand of alpaca


and plied with loose mohair added in!!" Jennifer Hunt



This second picture shows a close up of the texture with the loose Mohair added in while plying!
