140 yd/ 60 g

nonsuperwash, botanically dyed

This 2 ply yarn is made from wool raised by my former Ohio neighbor, Debbie. She is an avid spinner, and raises what she calls a “spinner’s flock”. Her sheep are a cross of Merino, Rambouillet, Finn, Dorset and “a few others”, resulting in soft, crimpy fleeces.

The fleeces were sent to Green Mountain Spinnery in Vermont for processing and the yarn is beautiful! Soft, very light and airy and adaptable to multiple gauges due to being woolen spun. Nonsuperwash.

Despite being lightweight, woolen spun yarns trap lots of air, so are usually extra warm and cozy. 

Minor bleeding may occur on first wash. Each skein is unique, purchase multi-skein projects together & alternate rows. Colors are shown as accurately as possible, but Monitors will vary.

You can prolong the life of all textiles and colors by washing by hand in cool water and avoiding exposure to strong, direct, prolonged light. For yarn, air drying on a flat surface will prevent stretching and sagging. A neutral wool wash is recommended, such as Eucalan.


 

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.
