	Caribbean Shore Handspun Hand Dyed Yarn You know those delicious colors as seen from the shore of the Caribbean? This is what I am seeing in these luscious big skeins of buttery soft baby alpaca, spun directly from the dyed locks. Aqua, teal, cobalt, gold and all of the colors in between. I spun three skeins in this project and yes they are big but if you want to make a stunning project, this is for you. Very much one of a kind. I would incorporate this into a phenomenal throw.

	Jurassic Cashmere Handspun Hand Dyed Yarn I could spend hours staring at rocks on the property, here at an old gold mining site.

	Silk/Merino Bhutan Handspun Hand Dyed Yarn It has been a lot of fun watching the colors emerge as they wish, with this dramatic colorway, Bhutan.

	GoneFishing Cashmerino Handspun Hand Dyed Yarn Sometimes, what I think of when putting color on a fiber and what actually comes out of the pot can surprise me. This subtle blending of Olive greens and browns is complimented with gold and the flash of blue/green. Photos never do these things justice but I call it Gone Fishing' because it looks like a speckled trout.

	Ruby in 100% Angora Handspun Hand Dyed Yarn I do miss having angora rabbits but this is the next best thing; lovely 100% angora yarn that has only begun to bloom. This is a blush of a red. 2 skeins: 2.6 ounces/158 yards $47 2.4 ounces/128 yards $43 Fiber: 100% angora Gauge about 5 stitches per inch Needle size 9 US (I actually suggest larger needles so that your angora can bloom beautifully) Hand wash Email for availability.
	Cashmere-Merino Olive Tones Handspun Hand Dyed Yarn Buttery Soft and subtle green tones make this yarn perfect for a guy or gal who loves luxury on the down-low. This yarn has the hand of 100% cashmere, without the high price tag and so it is a winning combination. You will get a gauge of about 4 to 4.5 stitches per inch with a US 9 or 10 needle. The point is to allow the bloom of the cashmere to blur your stitches and so there is no need to knit this too tightly. 5 skeins were spun: 3.2 ounces/136 yards $62.40 3 ounces /136 yards $58.50 3 ounces/130 yards $58.50 2 @ 3 ounces/ 122 yards $58.50 each Hand wash Email for availability.
	Cashmere-Merino Jungle Glorious riots of teal and bronze and other bits and bobs of color make up this gorgeous colorway. This amazing cashmere/merino has been a hit so I finally got the last two skeins spun. This will knit up at the usual 4 to 5 stitches per inch and as the yarn blooms, the stitches will blur beautifully. Needle suggestion sine 9 US. Three skeins @ 3.6 ounces/194 yards $70 each Email for availability.
