Yarns Apart


Here I have two yarns 'Malachite' made from the Jacob fleece is tough and chunky and would make a great outdoor garment keeping out wind and rain..  A great colour with the natural black of the Jacob showing through and the white dyed a vibrant green.
'Pixie Dust'  is a delicate yarn about DK weight and fairy light to touch and feel.  It could be made up into a lovely evening garment and would look good knitted or crocheted in a lacey pattern.  It has silver Angelina worked through the yarn

Pixie Dust



I am working on this yarn at the moment and the visiting children, all under 6 years, called it Pixie Dust.  It is a mixture of cerise pink, pale rose pink and grey with a lot of silver Angelina.  It is almost a pity to spin it as it looks like clouds of pink dust when it is passed through the diz.  I am spinning it as finely as I am able and I think it will make a details on clothes for the evening on a Winter night
