Ethiopian Handspun Cotton Yarn, Shallot organically dyed Natural patina and imperfections presentThis lovely cotton yarn is laboriously handspun on a drop spindle in Ethiopia by women working for a small cooperative comprised of single mothers. A single skein of yarn requires approximately 736 yards of handspun yarn. The yarn is then imported into Rwanda where the ladies of Handspun Hope complete the process of dyeing it organically, using shallot skins, in the single ply. Once the yarn is dry, the spinners then ply the yarn with spinning wheels
