Handspun yarn
Roving & Batts

This is a unique, dynamic page, which will change constantly, depending on what these wonderful artisan producers come up with!

It works just a little differently to the rest of the shop, because when you order one of these one-of-a-kind items, you'll complete checkout normally, but the item will be dispatched directly from the producer. 

Wyndwitch says "Strawberries and Cream colourway is born out of what is so quintessentially British - Wimbledon, strawberries and cream! So this beautiful BFL handpainted, handspun won't put extra inches on your hips, but it will knit and felt wonderfully, so why not indulge in a little calorie free deliciousness?"

The Rose range has been exclusively designed for Ecoknits by Green Eyed Monsters. It is hand spun from English Wensleydale wool and hand dyed in small lots using natural dyes. One ply gradually changes colour and the second ply is a solid colour, which gives a subtle slow graduation of colour through your work

This yarn comes in skeins of 50g, of approximately 100m. This is a DK weight yarn, perfect for a lustrous hat, scarf or mitts. Wensleydale will felt, so this yarn can also be used for felted bag projects.  2 skeins available.

Scrumptiously squidgy Shetland handspun by Wyndwitch. This is natural and un-dyed, although Shetland has a few white hairs which makes a yarn with a wonderful character. This is a one-off hand spun skein, with just very slight variations in twist and ply, making this a wonderful fibre to knit and felt with.

91g/123yards of 12wpi (approximately heavy DK or light aran). This is 100% wool. 4mm-5mm needles depending on required gauge.

After all, if you're going to be spending hours and hours with a project, you deserve to enjoy every minute of it!"
