Welcome to Handspun yarns by Juaquetta
The wool and mohair used in my handspun yarns is grown on sheep and angora goats tended by local shepherdess. I buy only the softest and cleanest freshly sheared fleeces. I wash, pick, card, dye and spin these fibers into colorful, uniquely textured, one of a kind yarns.

yesterday i was able to attend the plucky fluff camp here at paradise fibers in spokane. What a fun day. Lexi lead us through the spinning of her great yarns. i did core spinning with elastic thread. what a bouncy yarn this is! the loopy yarn was fun. about every 5th loop i did came out. another core spinning with plucks of mohair and everything else that can be spun is pretty. then we overspun a single and while plying it with a core yarn let the overtwists squiggle out. With lots of time to practice between yarns i am hoping to remember the details of how i spun these fun yarns. The crew at Paradise fibers is just great. They fed us and kept every ones spinning equipment going. i have pictures which i will soon get posted in my gallery here.

several NEW YARNS are listed.
tulip and january sky. tulip is Targhee wool from Molly Little Wilbur's flock. It was very clean ans the yarn is so soft and bouncy. I dyed it many shades of reds and purples. picked it together before spinning, then plyed it with a fine red yarn. i think the yarn looks like a bed of spring tulips. January sky is a gray fleece I bought on Whidbey Island. I dyed some mohair and merino with a deep blue, after picking it all together I spun it bulky and plyed it with a fine gray yarn.
