Journeys (5.3 oz) - Harlequin Haunui / Mulberry Silk (70/30)

The Road goes ever on and on,

Down from the door where it began.

Now far ahead the Road has gone,

And I must follow, if I can,

Pursuing it with eager feet,

Until it joins some larger way

Where many paths and errands meet.

And whither then? I cannot say.

Haunui (New Zealand Halfbred) is a stabilized breed only available from New Zealand. The very fine wool blended with silk is an amazing spin! It is a cross between Merino and a longwool (usually Romney or Leicester Longwool) with a lofty, soft, and fine hand.

Haunui  wool  is at the finer end of Halfbred, with micron counts that are more often found in Merino wool. It has been consciously selected  with handspinning in mind.

I take great care to make sure that dye is sufficiently exhausted and heat set the fibers so there is minimal to no run-off. However, due to differences in water across the globe, what runs clear for me may bleed a little for you.

Please take care to hand wash your finished item in cool water and lay flat to dry. I also make every attempt possible to use a photograph that is as true as possible to the real color. Monitor settings may vary.
