From his description:

This fingering weight yarn contains a blend of high-quality fibers. 60% of this yarn is a luxuriously soft, superwash Merino Wool. The addition of 30% Bamboo fiber adds adds strength, cloud-like softness (more breathability), and a subtle shimmer which elevates the colorways to a multidimensional state. Bamboo fiber is also known for its bacteriostatic properties. The addition of 10% Nylon provides durability. This is a four ounce, 440 yard skein

There is no better way to express my love for vintage papers than through some heart punched from a variety of mostly vintage papers, with some new pattern papers snuck in between. I can't get over how sweet each of these 1" hearts is, and they look adorable gathered together in a little bowl. Use on a handmade tag, card, collage, art journal, scrapbook page, journal cover...

Colors include: light pink, peach, apricot, lilac, wine red, burgundy, and medium purple.This is a skein of soft and lustrous bluefaced leicester yarn handspun from my handpainted roving. I spun this yarn using the modified long-draw method on my Bosworth Journey Wheel, which gives this yarn extra softness, loft and bounce. This yarn would make a great addition to any knitting or crochet project. For best results, hand wash in cold water and then lay flat to dry.
