Potluck Yarn author and Cherry Tree Hill founder Cheryl Potter went to Peru to source fair trade yarns and teach a shifting shades handpaint technique in which 50-60 yards per color is painted onto one hank of yarn. She calls this new technique Broad Band as opposed to self-striping.

You get the standard handpainted Cherry Tree Hill Colorways you know and love, only each hue in the colorway stretches 50 yards rather than the two to three yards you get in a Cherry Tree Hill handpainted self-stripe.

The hanks are 371 yards of an 80% Superwash Merino / 20% Mulberry Silk yarn, enough for scarves, lacy shawls, wraps and more. Also sold in 113 gram hanks with 420 yds. Please adjust yardage & skein size at the stash level.
