We have designed this custom spun yarn to be similar to some of the Scandinavian 2-ply yarns. We have chosen 22 colors for this tapestry yarn and dyed 5 shades of each color, each available in up to 4 pound dyelots. Its luster gives a nice sheen to the finished weaving. We use this with our 3-ply worsted warp at 6 ends per inch (excellent for rugs also) or can be used with a much finer warp at 8 epi.

Sample cards are available with 5 shades each of 20 colors.

We just finished dyeing a whole new run of Tapestry Yarn. These colors slightly are different than what they use to be. We have sample cards available of the colors we currently have. We will have all our new colors, plus a few new colors available within about six months. Call us if you have any questions.
