Mermaid Roof - Dyed Gradient Set (9.3 oz) - Pearl Haunui / Mulberry Silk (70/30)

Antoni Gaudí (1852-1936) was a Spanish architect and designer whose work blends together his three greatest passions in life: architecture, nature, and religion. His style began as Catalan Modernisme, but later transcended it, with very unique designs incorporating  ceramic, glass, wood, and ironwork. Some of his most famous works are located in Barcelona and have been declared UNESCO sites. Because Tour de France 2026 begins in Barcelona, we thought his beautiful and colorful work would be the best subject for our TdF fiber this year.

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.
