A one-of-one handspun art-yarn skein from an anonymous indie spinner — deep grape purple and indigo blue ground with peach, pink, and a metallic gold ribbon woven through the length. The paper band reads only *Art Yarn — 58 yds*; there is no studio name and no website. This is the kind of skein that turns up once at a fiber-festival destash table from a working spinner and never comes around again.

This listing is for 1 skein of Handspun Art Yarn in color Deep Purple, Blue & Peach with Gold Ribbon.

About the yarn:

This is small-batch handspun in a recycled-silk / viscose / wool art-yarn style — a fluffy halo single base carrying along little appliqués of cream, peach, blue eyelash, and orange tufts, with thin metallic gold ribbon plied along the strand so the gold catches the light all the way down the skein. Spun bulky by hand, gauge sits roughly in the US 8–11 (5–8 mm) range; the construction is irregular by design, so each metre is a slightly different surprise. 58 yards in a single 62 g (~2.2 oz) skein — short yardage, accent yarn, meant for collars, statement stripes, scarf trim, or a single high-impact panel in a bigger project.

About Handspun Art Yarn:

The spinner is unknown. The band is a small paper tag in pencil — *Art Yarn — 58 yds* — and there is no studio mark, no website, and no signed colourway. Reading the construction (recycled-silk-and-novelty plied art yarn with metallic ribbon, embedded tufts, and a fluffy halo single base) this is the kind of yarn that comes out of a small home-spinning practice — somebody who spins in their living room, works through a fleece or a bag of recycled-silk sari fibre, and brings the finished skeins to a fiber-festival destash table or sells them through a knitting friend. We don't know who she is, and there's no way to commission another one. That's most of the value here: this skein is genuinely one-of-one, and there isn't a sequel.
