NewYorkCityHandspun

Yarns as eclectic as the City itself

Brooklyn, New York

Announcement    Welcome! My yarns are eclectic but have one thing in common - they are spun in a "thick and thin" style which gives them a definite handspun look. They are noticeably and purposefully handmade.

I'll be adding yarns to the shop as they come off my wheel so check back every now & then to see what's new. Due to time constraints, I can't do any special orders.

    This hand spun yarn is amazing. I am using it as weft in my weaving. Will buy more.

    So, so pretty. Looking forward to projects with this one. Live that it isn't just dominated with green. Gigi has a great eye!

    RED. OH RED, I adore you. I want to eat this, and wrap myself up in it. It is exactly as it is named, red flannel and blue jeans good. This will find its way into a beautiful bag I'm making and everytime I look at it I will want it more. It is for someone else, but I'll tell you, if for some reason it doesn't meet her expectations, I'll be happy to keep it! This was a terrific ETSY FIND, lovely-LOCAL, and gorgeously hand-made. Only an artist could make these colorways up; I am a lucky, lucky girl, and I thank you with all my heart for your imagination and your ability to conjure up these delicious works of heart (and soul!). THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! (and thank you for the SWEET EXTRA GOODIES, I will knit/craft/weave them into something unique! What a thoughtful and sweet gesture!) xoxodeb

    PART 2. I want more of this. One look, and I fell in love with its wild and wooly tangles, twists, ripples, ebbs and flows. And color, did you ever look through a kaleidoscope? I want to wear this, and I will craft it into something wearable and touchable and wonderful. It is that excitingly, enticingly, exquisitely happy and loveable. I feel like I need to put on my patchouli, faded denims, and head on down to a Dave Matthews or Avett Brothers concert. Comfortable, reassuring. Good. AN EXCELLENT PURCHASE FROM START TO FINISH! Now, for part 3.....

    PART 1. OH MY. I feel like I won a prize; opening the package with these beautiful hand-made skeins made me so happy; each one - was better than the next, I opened these and really did exclaim "Oh Oh Oh Oh," and my husband questioned what exactly it was I was opening at my desk, too. "Only yarn, honey!" --but it's not just any yarn. I'm a red hand-made yarn fanatic; and although I searched for the red, an earlier purchase told me I'd be happy with other skeins; I was not disappointed. LOVE THIS R/W/B colorway, subtle, but wonderfully blended. AN EXCELLENT ETSY PURCHASE. STAY TUNED FOR PART 2.

    I've been spinning for 15 years and traveling the world for 30 years, developing a deep appreciation for fleeces, fibers, and textiles along the way. I love the fact that spinning is one of the oldest crafts in human history.
