Hand-Dyed Yarn

Hand-dyed yarn produced from Massachusetts sheep and spun for laceweight, sport weight, and sock yarn . Most Sojourner Design yarn is spun in Massachusetts.

I'm gradually stocking my new Zibbet shop; if you subscribe to my blot you'll see announcements as items are added.

Light Sport Yarn

Approximately 425 yards of 85% wool, 15% nylon. Spun in Massachusetts from Massachusetts sheep. Great for socks (one skein will produce a pair of men's socks on Size 2 needles), vests, sweaters, etc. I also weave and embroider with it and have used three strands at a time for rug hooking. A hand-washable farm yarn. Each yarn skein has been rinsed in Eucalan after dyeing.

These photos at left and right represent typical colorways for this yarn dyed in a variegated technique. The color changes flow gradually to prevent the jarring "clown vomit" effect, so aptly-described by Clara Parks, that discerning knitters worry about when considering variegated yarn. There are many one-of-a-kind colorways as well as four skein dye lots. I use a multiple-step dyeing process to increase the complexity of each colorway, and when possible I do not re-skein so that the customer can see how the colors flow into each other.

OUT OF STOCK	04011307 2nd Dye Lot Denim: the color gradation is more obvious in this dye lot than I had planned; it may not be appropriate in a laceweight project that emphasizes structure... still a lovely yarn! 6 skeins available, 415 yds each.	01011307 Roses: Nice subtle color gradation. 3 skeins available, 415 yds each.	Violets: I reached for periwinkles with my dyeing, but came up with violets instead; a happy failure! 7 skeins available, 415 yds each.
