Ragamuffin (tm) Handspun Cotton Primitive Rag Yarn

Ragamuffin (tm) style yarns are the result of experiments I have been doing with the new quillhead on my Lendrum spinning wheel. I use premium quilting fabrics, tear them into strips, and spin them into lovely rag yarn. The newly spun yarn is wound off onto a niddy-noddy and secured with lease ties into a skein; the twist is set, and the yarn is weighed and measured. Very labor intensive, but very satisfying.

Ragamuffin yarn can be used in knitting, crochet, weaving--any craft you choose. The skeins look great in a primitive wooden bowl, displayed like vintage rag balls.
