This yarn has been dyed with madder root, an ancient and revered dye. Out of all the natural dyes, it is one of the best for resistance to fading by washing and good resistance to light fading. Many cultures have attributed protective properties to the root and anything dyed with it-- it has often been used as the string in protective charms, for hanging evil eye pendants, etc. The color is dark to be called pink, but light to be called red, so I'm calling it light red. In the sun the color lights up with a warm tone; in the shade the undertone reads more purplish. This metamerism is typical of natural dyes!
On offer is one hank of thin, crimpy, irregular, handspun single-ply yarn. Some parts are half as thick as my wool embroidery/weaving yarns, and others are twice as thick as those 2/30 yarns. What length? Couldn't honestly say! Hank circumference is 48" and it weighs 3.5 oz. It is not strong. The best usages for this yarn as is would be rag doll hair-- perhaps for a mermaid princess??-- or yarn hair extensions. It could also be plied with itself to increase strength, or couched down for some very modern and textural embroidery.
This yarn, like all of my naturally dyed yarns, cannot be matched or reproduced.
