This is a thick and thin millspun single with handspun charm in bulky weight, great for fast knitting hats, mittens, scarves, anything really (well, maybe not a tank top. Wool tank tops have always struck me as odd. Now, a vest, yes.). Each skein is 4 ounces with 60 yards, with a gauge of roughly 1.75sts/inch on US19s. Looks exactly like Colinette Point Five as far as the wool goes, my colorways are a different matter. Mordanted with alum and handpainted with cochineal and logwood. $16.00 (4 available) |
