Description
Paivatar Hand Spun
Guovssahas Northern Lights Colours – NL2
Guovssahas Northern Lights Colours – NL2
I love to dye rainbow colours and to spin yarn in the shades of the Northern Lights.
GUOVSSAHAS – Is the North Sámi word for the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis. It means ‘The Lights that Sing’.
The magical colour blend of the Guovssahas colours happens as the multiple colours of wool roving are carefully hand selected and blended on a drum carder. The carded batt is then hand spun using a single ply woollen spinning technique that results in a light and airy yarn. The spun yarn is then fulled or felted to set the twist of the yarn, minimizing the risk of the yarn unravelling during knitting (as sometimes can occur with singles spun yarns)

Sampling – I like to knit a small sample of every hand spun yarn that I create – in order to assure product quality. The question I ask myself when I knit a sample is ‘Is this yarn nice to knit with?’ Hand spinning varies with each skein that is spun. There are many factors that affect the completed product such as: the fibre preparation, the colour blending of the fibres, the thickness of the yarn, the amount of twist in the skein, the tension of the spinning, the washing and blocking of the completed skein.
I hand spin yarn in small quantities. Once it’s gone, it’s gone – not to be repeated.
Knitting bowls, needles and other props are not included in the listing.
