*Minimally processed, non superwash sport weight yarn. Spun at Canada's oldest woolen mill, then naturally dyed. My favorite base (but don't tell the others...)

This minimally processed yarn is sourced from small flocks and farms.  It is made from medium wool breeds such as Corriedale, Romney, Cheviot and Bluefaced.  Medium wools will not be as soft as superfine Merino, because the scales are larger. Some people may not want to wear this directly against their skin. However, it makes for a light but warm knitted fabric. Because of its minimally processed nature, you will occasionally find bits of vegetable matter.

Because it's a "lofty" yarn, especially after washing, in my experience Meadow accommodates to multiple gauges-fingering to DK.

Moon and Hazy are natural, undyed wool colors. Dawn, Dusk and Midnight are not naturally dyed; they are dyed by the mill. However, I often overdye them with natural dyes.
