GUOVSSAHAS – Is the North Sámi word for the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis. It means ‘The Lights that Sing’.
I love to dye rainbow colours and to spin yarn in the shades of the Northern Lights.
The magical colour blend of the Guovssahas colours happens as the multiple colours of wool roving are carefully hand selected and blended on a drum carder. The carded batt is then hand spun using a single ply woollen spinning technique that results in a light and airy yarn. The spun yarn is then fulled or felted to set the twist of the yarn, minimizing the risk of the yarn unravelling during knitting (as sometimes can occur with singles spun yarns)

Full description
This pure wool yarn has been hand spun as a Single Ply, using the Woolen spinning method.
This creates a soft and springy wool yarn that is lovely to knit, crochet or nalbind. The yarn has been spun from a specially carded batt in a rainbow of colours. Each skein is unique. I call my unique blend of coloured yarns Guovsahas - the North Sami word for Northern Lights.
Total Grams per Skein: 50 grams
Total Meters per Skein: 60 meters
The yarn is packaged in an organza bag that is reusable and allows the yarn to breathe.
Pure wool does shrink if not handled properly. Please wash your handmade garment in cool water in the kitchen sink - using a gentle dishwashing liquid. Squeeze the excess water out with a towel and hang it up to dry.
