·      A Truly Gorgeous Yarn: cozy, durable and next-to-skin soft.

·      Corriedale Wool: long staple, beautiful crimp making yarn naturally springy

·      Gotland Wool: old long-haired breed originating in Sweden. Long, lustrous locks give wonderful drape and subtle halo.

·      This yarn is not dyed: the mix of natural white Corriedale and gray Gotland results in slightly heathered yarn with a slight halo.

·       Nonsuperwash: not treated with plastic or other chemicals, so needs to be washed by hand in cool water, then dried flat.

·      Holds Its Shape: this untreated yarn won’t sag and lose its shape like superwash yarns

Colors are shown as accurately as possible but monitors will vary.

Wash by hand in cool water then dry on flat surface.  Using a neutral pH wool wash is recommended. Examples are Orvus, Ecover and other liquid dishwashing detergents, various wool washes. 

 Avoid exposure to strong, direct, prolonged light.

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do your yarns come from?

At present, yarns come from the US, Britain and Canada. Bit by bit, I'm adding yarns made from small US farm wools. Some yarns are here for the long haul, others are limited editions.

Are natural dyes color fast and fade resistant?

There is an almost infinite number of natural dye sources but many are not light or wash fast. Flora Adora Fibers uses natural dyes that are known to have excellent to good light and wash fastness. Food grade mordants are used to bind dyes and permanently fix them to the fibers.

Both commercial and natural dyes will fade with extended exposure to strong light.

Washing yarns and finished projects in cool water with a pH neutral soap will further help maintain colors.
