Farmstead Fingering

Fingering Weight 260 yd/2 oz 100% Wool Very limited edition, small batch yarn originally dyed to celebrate Nash Yarn Fest. · Sourced From A Small Ohio Flock: grown by Debbie, my former neighbor: Her sheep are a cross of Merino, Rambouillet, Finn, Dorset and “a few others”, resulting in soft, crimpy fleeces. · Botanically Dyed: unique and vibrant colors derived from plants and other natural materials · Woolen Spun in Vermont: by Green Mountain Spinnery · It’s Lofty: produces a lightweight but warm and cozy fabric · Adaptable: Soft, very light and springy, adaptable to multiple gauges due to being woolen spun · Long Lasting Colors: only dye materials with excellent color fastness to washing and light are used. So you don’t need to worry about colors unexpectedly disappearing. · Minimally Processed Yarn: you might find a little vegetable matter in the yarn. · Nonsuperwash: not treated with plastic or other chemicals, so needs to be washed by hand in cool water, then dried flat Minor bleeding may occur on first wash.
