kath-ballantyne:

My cat needs a lump removed so I’m selling some handspun.

This is a Merino/Silk blend from Spun Out. The Merino is black with blue, white and purple silk.

This averages out to an 8-10ply (DK/Worsted) and is made up of three singles. It’s quite well balanced and knits up in to a great fabric. For some reason the fabric feels a bit like cotton and would make great mitts, hats or cowls. It’s definitely soft enough to have against your skin. I have really sensitive skin and have no problems with this.

It’s 102g/3.5oz and 108m/118yards

$25 plus postage. Message me if you’re interested

Please share.

I’ll edit this to add links to the other yarns for sale once I’ve posted them

I haven’t had the energy to take professional looking photos but if you want more detailed ones I can try.

This is my partner’s stuff, she spins some beautiful yarns. Cat’s vet appointment is on Monday, literally have no idea what it’s going to cost, and this is on the back of about a grand’s worth of car repair already this month. We’re both on disability pension, so we live on the bread line anyway, and these extra expenses have eaten away the little we had put aside already. If you like yarn, and want to help us out, buy it if you want it, or just reblog – someone might see it who does want to buy it. 🙂
