This discount cannot be combined with any other outstanding discounts.
Also, International shipping has changed on the Yarn Ahoy store. It is significantly lesser than before due to changes in USPS rates. International shipping will be done via USPS First class international & takes from 5-15 business days to reach the recipient depending on location (sooner if you're in Canada, later if you're in New Zealand). Please let me know if you'd like me to invoice you for insurance. This is recommended.

Hooray for the handspun sweater!
Ages ago I went looking for someone to knit me a sweater out of my handspun yarn. And I found them. Michelle's grandmother Patti in Florida was kind enough to knit me the sweater which is a ribbed Raglan.
Michelle has an Etsy shop called OakGroveAlpacas where she sells yummy Alpaca roving, home grown yarn & hand knit/woven items.
Below are pictures. The yarn striped in subtle stripes. I spun the yarn for the sleeves so that color repititions were shorter. One of the plies was the dark brown corriedale & the other alternated with different colors & blends. The result being stripes of different colors & textures.
Above: pre-drafted rovings made them easier to spin.
The color rovings with merino, silk on the left bobbin (lots of blue here) & the brown corriedale on the right.
