Rich and luscious, Handpaint Originals are as temping to the hand as they are to the eye. Spun from 70% mohair and 30% wool, this line of yarn is available in 13 hand painted colors and 11 color coordinating solid colors. Due to the high percent of mohair, this single ply yarn takes the dye with a rich hue backed up with the silky sheen of the mohair.
