THE YARN
This beautiful, single ply, non-superwash yarn has been minimally processed and sheepy, retaining all the best qualities of real wool. Spun from 100% Canadian fleeces from New Brunswick, each skein is a custom blend of Suffolk, Dorset, Cheviot, Romney and Rideau Arcott.
This yarn is purposefully rustic, though it gets much softer with washing. Wonderful for stitch definition for your textured knits, but interesting enough on it's own for basic stocking stitch since the colourways are truly heathered.
And since it's not been over processed, you can expect both drape and elasticity, with a touch of natural sheen.
Some shades are natural, and some are hand-dyed over a heathered base to give wonderful semi-tonal results. There's no machine-dyed flatness here!
