We save them very diligently and it's a total labor of love! We have been collecting the ties for a while and I finally found a mill that could process these, which means re-carding them, blending and spinning into yarn again. We have a batch of this lovely taupe, greyish tweed yarn with colorful speckles. I love how neutral it is with a colorful bit here and there. It comes in one colorway only and I think it's just calling for sweaters and cardigans. We are always looking for ways to be more environmentally friendly and to minimize waste. On top of our thread waste we are using recycled wool, making 50% of the total content recycled. We love the result! It's soft, yet wooly. Not superwash and it blooms beautifully after washing. 230 m /100 g Please Note: Dyed by hand in small batches, Hedgehog Fibres yarns do not come in dye lots. We do our best to visually match hanks for each order and will contact you via email if one or more hanks differ noticeably from the others. The beauty of hand-dyed yarns is that each hank is a unique work of art, so please be aware that there can be a variation in coloring, hue and saturation, even within the same dye batch.
