Non superwash, botanically dyed

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...)

 * Asterisk in front of color name indicates this color was dyed on a white base, so color tends to be clearer and brighter (aka “ Meadow Rustic Sport “Lights”). 

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. 

Pattern suggestions: 

Missoni Accomplished pullover

Forestland Pullover

Tearmann Shawl

Lichen Shawl

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. I currently use non scented 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.
