Custom Handspun Yarn

18


18 per unit - Virtual OK - Posted Nov 30, 2021

I will listen to your requirements and hand spin yarn just for you. I can create yarns in the weight and quantity you desire, and to your color specifications. I specialize in wool and animal fibers, but I can also use silk or synthetics, or even your own pet's hair or wool. Questions I will ask you include:

* What yarn weight and yardage would you like?
* What color(s) and/or color effects would you like? These can include natural/undyed, solid colors, tweed, gradients, heathered effects, and more
* What physical qualities would you like the yarn to have, such as gloss, feel, drape, and strength?
* Would you like your yarn to have texture or be an art yarn? I can spin you boucle, lockspun, thick-and-thin, beehive, corespun, and more
* Do you have any allergies to animals or animal fibers?
* What is your simbi budget for the project?

Pricing will vary based on the cost of materials and the amount of time needed. The unit price listed represents 1 skein of worsted weight wool yarn in a solid color. Luxury fibers, fine yarns, art yarns, and unusual color effects may cost more per skein. Bulky yarns may cost less. I may give discounts for larger orders. Chat with me for a free consultation and price quote!

Training & Qualifications


I have been spinning for over 10 years, and I have transformed many sheep fleeces into finished garments. I am equipped to scour and card wool for spinning, as well as to spin and dye yarn. I have made many art yarns and many standard yarns. I know knitting, crochet, and weaving, so I can help design a yarn that will work as expected in your project.

Availability & Preferences


I can meet with you evenings or weekends to discuss your requirements, or we can communicate in text.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

About Marjie Volk

I'm a software engineer by day, omnivorous learner and creator by night. Some of my current hobbies include song writing, spinning knitting weaving and other fiber arts, and nail art. My current job... is at a video game studio where I do gameplay engineering. I'm a huge enthusiast of video games, especially the quirky indie kind. I also love reading and watching fantasy and sci fi - from complex intellectual social tragedies to trashy young adult romps. During lockdown I turned into a retired person and filled my house up with interesting orchids and a big stamp collection. I live in a lovely house with my partner and two cats, where I now get to decorate to my heart's content. My friends say my bedroom looks like a child's room because of all the bright colors and happy wallpaper - but I'm proud to be a child forever!show more
