2008, Spring: Exotic Yarn

Exotically beautiful yarns, we should say! Wow. These are yarns you want to bury your face in, roll around in, jump into a swimming pool filled with. No wonder so many of you are going to make scarves and shawls with them—you’d want them right by your face so that you can keep feeling that luxurious softness. We measured bumps per inch (bpi) rather than twists per inch (tpi) this time. Shown here are a selection of the fiber types and spinning styles we received; view more in the Spring 2008 issue of Spin-Off. Yarns are shown at 100%. Details show the yarns magnified at 400%.
