This yarn is a 2-ply Aran weight worsted spun yarn for hand knitting. It has about 160 yards per 100g, and is made of the luscious wool of Romney and Gotland sheep living happily in Belgrade, Montana. Romney and Gotland are two breeds of sheep in the Longwool family. That means that the wool they grow is very durable, hard-wearing, and, if knit very densely, somewhat waterproof! This yarn is best for outerwear, socks/slippers, gloves, and other hard-wearing items, not scarves (which touch your neck) or next-to-skin tops.
The wool is washed, carded and spun in a solar-powered mill in Belgrade, Montana. All yarn are dyed by hand in San Francisco with sustainably sourced plants and bugs.
CARE
Hand wash by soaking in lukewarm water with a mild (wool) detergent (with similar colors!)
Let the fabric soak for 15 min, gently squeeze out excess moisture (use towels)
