New Yarn! Wool Single

Here is the sixth yarn that I would like to introduce you to:


It is 100% fine wool single. It feels similar to Lambs Pride worsted, just without the mohair. Though when it is felted it becomes incredibly soft and squishy! It has 240 yards of wooly yarn and would be suitable for a needle size of 7-9 US.


I chose this particular yarn because I wanted a staple yarn that would be ideal for a lot of different worsted weight projects. I knit my sample on size 11s and then washed it with one cycle through my washing machine. Its before measurements were 5 3/4" x 5" and its post-felting measurements are 5 3/4" x 3".


It would be ideal for hats, mittens, scarves, felted bags, felted bowls, or any other project that calls for worsted weight yarn.

I listed up 4 skeins of this yarn in my etsy shop. The 4 that are listed are Dragon Fire, Berry Pie, Sweet Pea, and Raspberry Espresso. So, let me know what you think! Blog contest details are listed here. Don't forget to check out the Wool Lace, Silk Sport, Wool/Silk Single, Silk Boucle, and Silky Sock.
