Handspun Rustic Blue Thick-and-Thin Cake — 5.1 oz

A single, generous slate-blue cake of unlabeled rustic thick-and-thin handspun wool, hand-wound and brought to us in a destash. The yarn is a chunky single, the colour shifts in soft denim and pewter tones across the cake, and the hand is properly woolly — almost lanolin-soft, the sort of texture that wants to be a warm winter hat or a chunky hand-knit cowl rather than anything next-to-skin.

No band, no brand tag. This cake came in unlabeled, the way a lot of indie destash does — someone's beautifully-spun-and-dyed yarn that left its maker's studio years ago and lost its band on the way. What it is, you can see: rustic wool, big chunky single, denim and slate gradient, hand-wound into a useable cake.

Specs.

• Cake weight: 5.1 oz 
• Weight class: bulky / chunky thick-and-thin single
• Construction: single ply, hand-wound cake
• Fibre: wool — rustic, woolly hand
• Colourway: denim / slate / pewter — gentle gradient across the cake
• Cakes available: 1 — one cake, no second behind it
• Care: hand-wash cool with a wool-safe wash, lay flat to dry; expect a little bloom and softening after the first wet

Lovely for: a chunky hat-and-cowl set, a weekend shawl on big needles, a colour-block stripe in a heavy throw, or a small woven panel where the colour shift gets to do the work. A cake this size is more than enough for a single big winter accessory or a brave one-skein sweater on US 13–15 needles.

Condition. Excellent. Cake is intact, hand-wound, clean. Stored in the cabinet between intake and listing.

Destash, twice-owned. The kind of unlabeled single you can't go buy a new skein of when you run out — pattern it for what's in front of you.
