Yarn with a fragrant heart

Zingiberaceous (lemon, honey and ginger)

Zingiberaceous: a. belonging to the family Zingiberaceae of monocotyledonous plants, typified by the genus Zingiber (ginger).

This yarn was inspired by a steaming lemon, honey and ginger drink, handspun from dyed cross-bred wool in lemon yellow and creamy honey - with sparkles of Angelina, plus rayon fringe and silk thrown in.


It's skeined around a small sachet scented with completely natural ingredients: cleaned pistachio nut shells, steeped in fresh ginger essential oil, lemon basil essential oil, and beeswax absolute.It smells yummy!


Currently sold out of Zingiberaceous. Will try to make more soon.

Sunblink

Sunblink: n. a gleam of sunshine

This yarn was inspired by flashes of sunlight on a cloudy day, handspun from dyed cross-bred and romney wool in blue and cream - scattered and plied with sparkles of Angelina, plus silk and shiny rainbow-coloured nylon.


It's skeined around a small sachet scented with completely natural ingredients: cleaned pistachio nut shells steeped in fir balsam absolute, juniper berry essential oil, mimosa flower absolute, beeswax absolute, and frankincense absolute. It smells sweet and pine-foresty.


Two skeins are available:
126 metres - $15 (plus postage)
182 metres - $20 (plus postage)


(Or both for $34 plus postage)


Each one is enough to make either a hat or a scarf - or add highlights to a larger item.
