Shanghai Nights – Handspun Coopsworth Wool Silk Thrum Aran Yarn
Shanghai Nights — Handspun Coopsworth Wool Silk Thrum Aran Yarn
Deep, rich, and utterly captivating — Shanghai Nights is a handspun aran weight yarn built on a foundation of Coopsworth wool in the most luxurious, velvety brown you’ve ever seen. Woven throughout are multicolor silk thrums that catch the light like scattered lanterns, adding flashes of color and texture to every inch of the skein.
Coopsworth is a dual-purpose breed known for its long, lustrous staple and excellent drape — a spinner’s favorite for its silky hand and beautiful sheen. The silk thrums take it to another level entirely, adding tactile interest and a jewel-toned shimmer that makes this yarn truly one of a kind.
