Melior Fiber Studio — "Jacaranda" Handspun Merino + Mohair Locks Art Yarn — 27 yards

A one-of-one handspun art yarn from Melior Fiber Studio — Lacey's studio in Upstate New York, where every skein is made to order from natural fibres and shipped 100% plastic-free. This skein is the "Jacaranda" colourway: shades of deep eggplant, soft lavender, and undyed cream, drafted long against curly mohair locks so the surface reads as ringlets of colour rather than a smooth ply. The maker's brown brand card and her hand-written spec tag are both still attached.

Fibre (off the spinner's tag). Merino wool + mohair locks. The merino brings the soft hand and even drape; the mohair locks bring the surface curl and the sheen. Synthetic-free, as is the maker's whole studio practice.

Specs (off the spinner's tag).

• Name: Jacaranda
• Colours: Shades of Purple — eggplant, lavender, cream
• Yardage: 27 yards per skein
• Net weight: 1.4 oz / ~40 g
• Weight class: super bulky / art yarn with locks
• Construction: handspun single, drafted long against mohair locks; thick-and-thin
• Skeins available: 1 — one-of-one
• Care: hand-wash cool with no-rinse wool wash, lay flat to dry. The locks like a gentle re-fluff once dry.

Lovely for: the contrast stripe on a chunky hat or cowl on US 13–15 needles, a small-loom weaving where the locks read as surface texture, or a wall-hanging where 27 super-bulky yards in a deep-purple-and-lavender palette carry an entire panel.

About the spinner. Melior Fiber Studio is run by Lacey out of Upstate NY — handspun art yarns, hand-dyed wool, silk hankies, woven goods. The studio describes itself as "Earth-inspired, synthetic-free, organic maximalist," and donates 10% of every sale to environmental non-profits. Find her on meliorfiberstudio.com and on Instagram (@meliorfiberstudio). Each skein is made to order — once a particular colourway is sold, the next one in that name will be a sibling, not a twin.

Condition. Excellent. Skein is clean, hand-tied, and intact, with both the brand card and the maker's hand-written spec tag still attached. Stored in the cabinet between intake and listing.

Curator's Cabinet — handspun, art-yarn with mohair locks, named indie maker with a sustainability practice, one of one.
