Description
Handspun Hope is a Fair Trade organization dear to our hearts! Not only is the yarn gorgeous in texture and its semi-solid hues draw you in, but more importantly Handspun Hope empowers women in Ethiopia and Rwanda with employment and pays them a living wage.
The cotton fiber is sourced and spun in Ethiopia using drop spindles and then hand dyed using natural dyes in Rwanda.
A Note On Color:
Because of the natural dying process and how natural dyes can vary, we recommend purchasing all your skeins at one time (and an extra skein if you're nervous about running out). We always do our best to handpick skeins for the closest match. It is a good practice with hand dyed yarns to alternate skeins of the same colorway to blend the colors as much as possible.
Care
Hand wash, dry flat in the shade.
FREE Yarn Winding
Many of our yarns are sold in hanks rather than balls and need to be wound into a "cake" before using. If you'd like us to do this for you, please add the Ball Winding Service to your order of yarn! (Please note: wound yarn can not be returned.)
"I'm so excited to finally find my perfect local yarn store. They carry such an amazing range of yarns, from locally sourced to small batch sheep to skein to naturally dyed. I've been twice (so far!) and I'm always greeted so nicely. It doesn't feel clique-y or snobby as some shops do. Their range is really amazing and so far I've gotten sweater yarn and yarn for 2 different shawls here. Dawn is great with color advice too. Highly reccomend!" - Google Review
"I couldn't leave this shop a high enough score. 10000/10. The instant I walked in, I was given a warm greeting and was immediately helped. I went in for sock yarn but, was overwhelmed by all the amazing local yarn. I love that they have a direct relationship with their yarn artisans. She even stayed a few minutes past closing when I was having problems picking just one skein. Never felt rushed or like she wanted me gone. She took the time to make sure I was getting exactly the righ.t product and even put my skein into a cake That's an amazing service that I've never been offered before. I can't say enough good things about this place. Ill definitely be making the trip there more often!" - Google Review
