MERINO Yarns |
So, how does this yarn happen? MOSTLY MERINO is a combination of hand selected merino wool and kid/yearling mohair fiber from my sheep flock and other New England small farm flocks, and fine Western US wool. These exceptional raw materials are custom spun at the Green Mountain Spinnery to create a natural light gray color yarn in both light-sport and worsted weights. The combination of natural fibers and expert spinning create a yarn that is full of character and will wear well with little or no pilling. |
|
My color palette is of my own design, inspired both by nature, the Vermont landscape and memory. Each dye lot is individually blended, each yarn order hand-dyed. Though every color can be closely replicated, every dye lot is individual. Be sure to order enough yarn for your project. |
Worsted weight: 2 oz./125 yard sks, 4 - 5 sts/inch.
Light Sport weight: 2 oz./250 yard sks, 5-7 sts/inch

sought a wool yarn
of an authentic,
artisanal quality,
one that was soft
but had enough body
to show off the cables
and give the jacket
structure. I found
it in Margaret Klein
