Desert Bloom

Painted skeins are yarns produced in my mini commercial mill from 100% New Zealand grown and produced commercial Corriedale roving which is then dyed by me, pindrafted and spun in the mill.  Each skein is unique.  Usually there are between 3 and 5 colours used in a colourway and how it expresses itself during the spinning process is evident in the finished skein.  These are wonderful for colourwork. Very soft.  If you have a preference for leaning towards a particular colour preference please message me and let me know.
