PLEASE NOTE: this is a rustic, hand spun yarn, so please expect some variations in thickness and texture. You may also find small pieces of plant material tangled in the fibres. I believe that this all enhances the natural beauty of this hand produced item.

Yarn colours and skein sizes in the selection may vary slightly from those shown, but they will always be within the same range and colour palette. If you have any doubts, please contact me for more precise information.

These yarns are part of my LAVKEN range of homespun yarns. They have been spun by a group of women from the coastal region of central southern Chile. They are members of an indigenous association, and part of Chile's own fair trade network. Yarn is spun from the local sheep, which are usually Suffolk or Romney Marsh. They grow a number of their dye plants, or collect plant material locally.
