Colorado Pure Handspun
Hand spun yarn is unique and crafted with care. Unlike mass-produced yarn, hand spun yarn has rich variation, texture, and character. Each skein is a one-of-a-kind creation, with subtle variations in thickness, twist, and color that add depth and character to any project.
I use wool sourced from Cactus Hill Farm and process the fleece from start to finish, which include prepping, scouring, and carding. Whether you’re an experienced beginner or experienced crafter, you’ll appreciate the unique qualities and story behind every skein. The special hand spun process enhances the natural qualities of the fibers, making the yarn ideal for a wide range of projects—from cozy scarves and sweaters to intricate shawls and accessories. This hand spun yarn will make your next project extra special!

Care: While all fiber has a final washing and is rinsed until the water is clear, some dye may still exist and you may experience some “crocking” - this is when the dye transfers to your hands while knitting. You may also see some bits of leftover raw dye materials in your yarn; this is especially true for yarns dyed with cochineal, sappanwood sawdust, weld plant, and marigold.
Due to the unscientific nature of how I approach natural dying, you may see some “imperfections” in the yarn.
Embrace them.
To maintain the color of your yarn, keep out of direct sunlight for long periods of time and hand wash with a ph neutral soap in cold water.
