It's a thick-thin yarn with lots of hand-dyed wool and mohair colors with black alpaca. 2.4 oz 108 yards. I couldn't decide what kind of yarn to spin, so I took a little bit of everything!
This yarn has a "bead chain" thick/thin variation, but looks and feels like very soft felt. The spinning was done for us by a family mill in Italy. We do the dyework ourselves in Northern California.
Here's what we say about it on our website (www.artfibers.com):
Wool 70% Alpaca 30%
17 stitches X 23 rows = 4"/10cm on US #9 needles
2.20 yards per gram
100.00 yards required for one square foot (knit to gauge in stockinette)
The strand seems to be made from felted beads, very soft and somehow reassuring -- a bit like the traditional Mongolian round shelter, made from felt, the YURT. This yarn has a very pleasing hand, in perfect weight for any cool weather garment. YURT also seems like the perfect start for an inventive felted expression.
Price per yard dyed: $0.08
Price per yard undyed: $0.06
Artfibers sells all of its yarns by the yard, on cones. buy as much or as little as you actually need. To purchase, just send an email to yarn@artfibers.com. We'll send you an invoice, you can pay online. Easy!
It was so many years ago, it feels like a different lifetime. My buddy Þorsteinn told me I needed to go straight to the highest levels with my proposal, so...after bluffing my way up 4 floors and past 3 receptionists, I found myself face to face with Mr. Sigurður Helgason. Even with no appointment, he was nice enough to take the time to listen to me. I spent about 20 minutes telling him basically, his airplanes all looked like shit, his company image was weak, and that only I had the solution they needed. It's remarkable that he didn't ask me to leave immediately. After graciously letting me finish, he countered with an explanation of the company's branding and marketing objectives. Also, I was informed of the tremendous costs and questionable benefits regarding my suggestions. I left disappointed, but with great respect and admiration for this man. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?......... Three months later it was announced Icelandair was repainting their entire fleet and rebranding themselves. So was I the turning point in all of this? It's doubtful, but I still like to imagine that I was. Anyway...here is the old Icelandair livery. I shot the 757 and glacier scenes a few months apart, in '97 and '98. They were taken with my Minolta 7xi on what I'm guessing is regular old Kodak Gold 200 ( I scanned the prints not the negatives). Marcie was photographed a couple years ago with my Kodak Z981. I think this would have made a nice looking luggage tag at the very least. I hate to admit this, but, I now prefer the OLD paint scheme. WTF?!?

This is how tall I can knit socks for myself with the leftovers from knitting a sweater for a slim mini bjd. I bought two balls of Serenity sock yarn and from one knit slippers and sleeves for the sweater and then knit the body of the sweater from hem through yoke and neck with the other. There was a walnut sized ball of yarn left from the slippers and sleeves ball.
MH picked up this beautiful wool fabric in our secret santa gift exchange. Now to figure out what to make from it!

Knitted in pure Shetland wool. I love the color combination- I have always been crazy for red, but the brown and olive makes a great contrast.
This is the rest of the wool I used in the bulky skein, only when I started on this portion it wanted to be spun a lot finer. A very fun exercise, and now I have two companion yarns!
20.5 yards of sheep's wool (not sure what, but it's nearly as soft as merino) not dyed by me in a range of maroons. Spun and then plied into a two-ply yarn on my Golding drop spindle.
