Jerke Yarn

Introduction

My name is Franciska, and Jerke Yarn yarns are born in my hands.

I love spinning. Although I originally intended to make it my main focus, I'm increasingly making room for dyed yarns and growing closer to the art of dyeing too.

Among handspun yarns, art yarns are especially close to my heart, and I try to expand that range month by month.

I enjoy dyeing and spinning around themes. A film, a piece of music or a country's culture can inspire me, and that's how my most unusual yarns are born.

Wool is a wonderful gift: it has so many uses beyond making yarn. The more ways I discover to work with it, the more this fantastic material captivates me.

Of course, you'll also find yarns made from other materials, such as silk, another great favourite of mine.

The natural world holds everything we might need. We simply have to rediscover it and learn how to use it.
