This beautiful handspun yarn is fashioned by spinning one strand of Angora and one of Merino, then plying them together. You then have the luxury of Angora with the softness and stretch of Merino!
When dyed, the Merino tends to pick up the color more readily and so is generally darker than the Angora. This gives a unique two-toned look to the finished yarn.
These skeins are about 50 yards, between .9 and 1.0oz with a WPI of 11-12.
From left to right the colors, and how many I have of each, are: Green(4), Spruce(3), Violet(7), Lilac(2).
The Green was made with Chocolat Agouti Angora which retained its tan color. The Spruce is a delightful mix of dark spruce and mint. A real tweed look is achieved in the Violet skeins with the Merino, a deep violet, and the Angora, a fuzzy, blue-ish lavender. The two Lilac skeins are an overall mix of pink-lilac tones, the Angora remained light with bluish gray tones.
