Arachne Yarns

ARACHNE YARNS   

Starting with the very best fibers, Arachne Yarns are carefully crafted to create truly unique and beautiful hand spun yarns. Each fiber  individually selected from neighboring farms specializing in creating fibers for hand spinners. It has been minimally processed. Fibers are then either hand dyed with native plants and natural dyes, or left in their natural colors. Each yarn is then carefully designed and hand spun. For this reason, Arachne Yarns appeal to the discriminating craftsperson by furthering the originality of any piece. Arachne Yarns are made primarily from protein fibers: wool, mohair, alpaca, llama, yak, and camel. Occasionally I may find bits of silk, tensel, or some other fiber that I will add in small quantity.

CARING FOR ARACHNE YARNS

*Arachne yarns are all hand dyed and hand spun. No two dye baths will be the same. This adds to the unique quality of the yarn. It also means that ‘what you see is what you get’. It is not reproducible. Therefore, make sure you purchase enough yarn to complete your project, as no more will be available.

*Arachne yarns are natural fibers and therefore, care must be taken when washing these yarns and items made from them.  All yarns have been washed at least once after spinning and or dyeing. Items should be carefully hand washed in warm water with a little wool wash. Do not agitate while wet. Carefully rinse the item and gently squeeze the water from it. Do not twist the item. Wrap the item in a towel and gently squeeze out more moisture. Then carefully lay the item flat to dry. Avoid stretching the item.

*I hope you will give yourself the opportunity to try some of these yarns.
