I’m Jen from Jenjoyce Design. For fun and past-time I make yarn from commercial yarns, of a few different sources, but most of them sourced from Peruvian Highlands or Irish Tweed.

• “Peruvian Fingering Superwash” is approximately 374y and 100g of Corriedale-Merino cross breed sourced from Peru. I created this yarn wanting a 100% superwash non-merino wool yarn that has rustic appeal, is durable, and machine washable.

• I make it by dividing the plies of worsted weight superwash, then re-plying them with extra twist to make into a durable fingering weight sock yarn with 2 plies.

• Note that yardage does seem to change approx 15% in this process. “Theoretic” is 440 (twice the orig skein’s listed yardage) , and actual measured is close to 15% less than that, at 374y, depending on the hand-manipulated process, of plying, number of times re-skeining, etc.

As yet this yarn is not available to purchase, yet quite a bit of it is making it into the stashes through friendship & test-knitting gifts, so I felt it a good idea to start the process of making a brand name of it. If you have a question about Un-Spun, please contact me here on Ravelry. Thank you!
