Hand Painted Handspun Merino Alpaca Blend

Thu, 19/11/2009 - 09:13 — Karin

From the fleece to finished yarn.  This yarn is 80% Merino & 20% Alpaca blended together. When spun and plied it is an 8 - 10ply (12 wpi). This is so lovely and soft and there is a total lof 180g. 

I used the microwave to dye this with food colouring. First was a blue dye session followed by hand painting the gaps with violet.  I call it Bubble Gum  Paddle Pop.
