Northern Lights - Multi-Colored Merino Wool Tops Collection

Northern Lights is several shades of dyed merino top combed together into one multicolored top. Spin from the fold to keep the colors apart, or from the end of the top for a more tonal, watercolor yarn.

Spinning from the fold

To keep the colors in place, tear the top in half lengthwise, break off a manageable piece and open it up. Fold it over your dominant index finger, hold it there with your thumb and other fingers, and draft from the tip of that finger, long or short. The shades blend far less in the yarn.

For a tonal yarn where the colors melt together like watercolor, spin straight from the end of the top.
