I have slowly been adding handspun skeins to Instagram (@fluvialfibershandspunpgh), with some help from Rainbow. But several of you asked specifically for fingering weight, so I pulled a number of skeins yesterday and thought I'd give my blog friends first dibs at these skeins. Here's what I pulled and some details. I'm happy to share more information if you need it. Some of these may be closer to heavy fingering/sport, but they're all in the neighborhood.
- Spring on Corriedale, 242 yards
- Hope Springs on Grey Corriedale, 319 yards
- Autumn on Corriedale, 332 yards
- Breeze on Finn, 293 yards
These skeins are a mix of dyers and fiber content. They're all chain-plied except for the one on the far left, which is a traditional three ply. Left to right:
- SCF Flanders Fields on Rambouillet, 406 yards
- Loop Vernal Equinox on Merino/nylon/sparkle, 373 yards
- SCF Kandinsky on Rambouillet, 334 yards
- Yarn Hollow Red Rocks and Spruce on alpaca/Merino/silk, 419 yards SOLD!
- SCF Caravaggio on Corriedale, 292 yards
I calculate prices based on the number of plies and the yardage. For blog friends, I'm giving a little bit of a discount, and I'm also covering shipping within the United States.
Please do not feel obligated to buy anything -- I just wanted to make these skeins available to those of you who were interested before I post them to Instagram! I know some of you have expressed surprise that I could part with a lot of this handspun, but honestly I am feeling overwhelmed by how much I have and would rather it go to someone who will actually craft with it than have it sit in a bin for years. I would quite honestly give it away, but I do have some costs to cover (shipping, the cost of the fiber, the maintenance costs of my wheels, etc.), hence the "friends and family" discount. Please do let me know if I should continue to share skeins here first as I uncover more!
