2021 Shearing
Our Farm Friends DK weight is a 2 ply woolen spun yarn made from our original pet flock. It includes the fiber of our FinnSheep Minnie Purl, Gladys, RBG and Rosa Parks and includes Gladys' best friend Betty. Betty is a Romney/blue faced Leicester who gives us luscious long 9" locks! The blend of her long lustrious fiber with the natural colored Finns makes a lovely tweedy yarn that feels Irish in nature.
Two size options- 50g 125 meter/137+ yards or our HUGE 270 yard skeins!
- 2 ply woolen spun
- 5.5 sts per inch on size 6 needles 22 sts = 4"
- crochet hook size G 6
It doesn't get closer to the sheep than this! Never superwashed, our RAW yarn in this collection is straight from the sheep with just gentle washing. It is ready to enjoy natural, or to accept mordant for your own natural dyeing efforts. Spinning oils from the mill have been removed using plant based laundry soap. It's soft and bouncy and ready to sink your happy hands into!
This is a blend of our diverse pet flock. We believe in unity and understanding of differing perspectives. As such, we will donate $1 per skein purchased to a charitable organization (not political) that promotes these values. This months charity is NO KID HUNGRY
