Harlequin is a one of a kind 3-ply handspun yarn, DK weight. It is a marled yarn made by randomly spinning 3-colors - yellow (dyed with tansy ragwort), mauve and a natural dark brown Shetland. This strand is then plyed with 2 white Shetland plies to make a delightful 3-ply yarn. The yarn is very soft. Skeins weigh from 4 - 5 ounces and contain 190 yards.
