Hand-dyed Yarn

This is hand dyed yarn from my own children's sweatshop in the Frigid North. 

Dyed with all the fervor of a toddler's artistic expression, it has a lovely sheen of pale blue/green and aqua that can self-stripe, depending on the width of the project.

The alpaca fiber in the yarn is unbelievably soft, and the merino adds that bit of sturdiness needed to make a long-wearing set of socks.  Best yet, it can be machine washed in cold water (although I'd recommend letting them air-dry).
This would make an excellent gift for that knitter/crocheter in your life.

Or better yet, buy it for yourself and you could consider it $18 worth of personal therapy that can last for years.

Click here to visit my Etsy shop, and keep checking back, as I'll have more things listed within the next few days!
