Spun in a remote village near the blue waters of Lake Qinghai, Qinghai Handspun is made from a springy, squishy wool that gives great stitch definition and an attractive corded appearance. It’s hand-painted in small lots to provide vivid, saturated colors.

Qinghai Handspun is made by the women of the Qinghai Spinner’s Cooperative. The Cooperative was founded in 2010, and provides much-need income and jobs for rural Tibetan women in China’s Qinghai Province.

Each skein of Qinghai Handspun is slightly different, reflecting the individual spinning style of its maker.
