"Lotus"

2.8 OZ 374.5 yards

Amazing yarn! I have seen art batts spun thin before, yet none like these. Maybe I'm biased since they are spun from my batts ;) Christie a super talented spinner from France has spun the most amazing yarns. What makes them unique is they are very thin, and have many, many yards! Who knew you could take a 3.5 ounce batt and turn it into 781 yards. Astonishing!

In Christie's own words, her thoughts on creating the yarn.

Well, spinning lace yarn with a textured batts is so.....exciting!!! Very different from another yarn, but is an extremely long ... I need a little twenty hours to stretch the
fibers up to their breaking point, patiently but so incredible. I feel every fiber slide under my fingers and the differences between a silk, a combed wool or just washed fibers...the rendering of colors is different also a set of small fine stripes all running all along plied on a very fine lurex give the bulking as an airy chocolate mousse that melts in your mouth like chocolate mousse.I like to work the lace textured handspun, they are amazing to knit or crochet.Awesome!

 

Amazing knitted into a chic shawl!
