Sourced entirely from within USA, our lofty yarn has a soft hand that retains nice stitch definition. By sourcing directly from a mill we are able to keep our costs down and our environmental footprint small. Our current range includes a 100% US Domestic wool blend in super bulky, worsted and sport weights, a 100% US Merino in a single-ply fingering and 3-ply lace. Our sport weight 100% wool is truly our workhorse yarn, its popularity has only recently been surpassed by our Fingering Merino Shawl Balls.

SUPER BULKY, WORSTED AND SPORT
A 100% wool yarn blend of Rambouillet, Corriedale and Columbia wool from sheep raised in Colorado. The fibers are worsted spun into a single-ply yarn that is surprisingly strong, yet still lofty. The fibers have a micron count of 22-24 making it soft to the touch, and yet it retains its artisanal nature, emphasized by our hand dyeing technique. Our sport and worsted wools are great for felting - we suggest hand washing only for non-felted items. All colorways are available in our Rustic sport and worsted weight yarns. Super Bulky is currently only available in our Ombré range and is the only hand dyed Gradient Super Bulky available on the market today! Lush and so very soft, it's perfect for warm winter hats and chunky oversized cowls and scarves. |

MERINO FINGERING SHAWL BALLS, YARN BOMBS and MINIKINS
With so many reasons to love our Merino Fingering yarn, it's hard to know where to start. First-off, the fiber: this is our first single-ply fingering yarn, and our first yarn in a luscious, lovely 100% merino. With a micron count of 21.5, it has an against-the-skin softness for neckwear and perfectly complements our single-ply worsted and sport offerings.
Then there's the feel-good manufacturing: this is a mulesing-free merino, grown and spun in the United States to our particular specifications. Though exceptional stitch-definition has long been a hallmark of our single-ply yarns, the loftiness of this Merino Fingering is particularly versatile, lending itself to be stitched up in a variety of gauges without losing definition or drape. Voracious Freia fans will be perhaps most excited by the upgraded yardage. The 100 gram "Shawl Balls" measure 430 yards and the new Yarn Bombs are almost a 1/2 mile of yarn at about 860 yards, both sizes are perfect for single-skein projects. Our Minikins are 107 yards and are perfect for accessories, or use many together multi-colored larger projects. For the first time since debuting our very first "Flux" yarns, we're mixing up the formula: previously available only in 50g balls, we're now doubling the yardage for our Flux self-striping colors in the Merino Fingering to 100g balls. As with all untreated Merino yarns, handwashing is required to avoid felting.
We know our new Yarn Bombs will blow you away as they did to us the first time we dyed them! Holding this behemoth in your hands will give you pause.. they are big suckers and so delicious!! The 200g Yarn Bombs and 100g Merino Fingering Shawl Balls will have you covered!
