Before and after dyeing this skein of #HandSpunYarn .

The yarn is 4-ply sport weight, 50% Wool 25% Alpaca 25% Satin Angora

Dyed with black walnut hulls #naturalDye . I boiled the hulls twice, then placed the bath in a shady spot and soaked the yarn for three days.

This was a test dye for a larger project. I love the color, but I'm not sure it's right for this project. I'll decide after knitting a test swatch.

A skein of yarn against a clover background. It has three strands of white and one of cinnamon brown. Upon closer inspection, you can see there are two dull white strands, which are wool, and one bright what strand, which is Angora. The brown is Alpaca.

I skirted Orca's #fleece and I think this would be a really fun one to spin because of all the different shades. It is also shocking how SOFT it is! It's like petting an angora rabbit or a chinchilla or something.
