Hand spun art yarn is one of the best ways to add something special to your art. There are many different ways to add them into your pieces, get creative! All of my handspun yarns are one of a kind and rarely can be replicated twice. I also accept custom request, so if there’s something specific you’re looking for please reach out so we can communicate and make that happen for you!
Some tips to keep in mind when using handspun yarn — make sure to be very gentle and careful with art yarn— some may have added fibers like scraps, silk, and thread that make them extra fragile. Most hand spun has a specific amount of twist in order to make them— do not pull on them— try not to change the direction of the twist when handling them, this can unwind them.
How to cut handspun art yarn— grab two pieces of thin string and wrap each (2 or 3 times) around the top and bottom of the area you want to cut. Make sure to leave about a 1” gap in between the tied strings. Once knotted you can cut the section in between both knots. For added safety I suggest taking the core string of the art yarn and knotting it with the string that’s been tied. Keep using this method every time you want to cut a piece of art yarn or else it can unwind! If for whatever reason you need any help please don’t hesitate to reach out!
