HANDSPUN YARN MAKES ME HAPPY

I love knitting with this whimsical magical yarn!

Handspun Yarn

One of my favorite brands of yarn is Knit Collage. Their yarns are vibrant handspun creations. Bits of ribbons, sequins, or flower appliqués are spun together with brightly colored wool, mohair and glittering Angelina fibers. Wool and mohair are primarily used in the yarns. The wool fibers are from Australia. The mohair comes all the way from South Africa. Some of the yarns include a teeny amount of sparkly fibers called Angelina, that are made from polyester. These fibers come in a large range of iridescent and glittery colors from the USA.


The yarn spinning process is extremely time intensive. To spin one skein of this yarn, it takes the spinner around 2 or more hours. On top of the spinning, all of the fibers in the yarns are also hand dyed and hand carded. Some colorways have over 10 different fiber colors carded together to achieve the final result. Even though the raw materials are the same, no two skeins are completely alike because of the intense handmade process that goes into each and every skein.
