PHAT FIBER August 2016 - Indian Summer Hand pulled roving - 100g

This blend was inspired by a beautiful wedding sari. Stunning blue silk with amazing amounts of golden embroidery.

I wanted to put together a blend which reflected the rich, bright colours of this sari, but also would produce a yarn that was as sumptuous and soft as the real thing.

This hand blended, hand pulled roving is made from 21 micron merino fibres, blended with mulberry silk (approximately 15%) and recycled sari silk (approximately 10%), all in shades of blue, although the sari silk has highlights of tiny turquoise, purple, and pink threads throughout.

The fibres have been blended twice to ensure that the fibres have been distributed evenly, but streaks of silk can still be discerned - if you would like the fibres to be carded three times before being turned into roving please leave a note after ordering.

You will receive 100g of roving nests in 'Indian Summer' colourway. The merino fibres will felt, if you do not wish them to, hand wash in cool water.
