This listing is for one 2-ply skein, with a total weight of 5.0 oz., spun at an average of 1210 ypp (yards per pound), nearly fingering. The total yardage for the skein is approximately 380 yards. Soft and spongy, this yarn wraps at 12-14.
Corriedale is a sheep breed that was developed during the industrial revolution for the sweater trade. They needed a fiber that was a little longer than Merino for the machines, so they crossed Merino with the long-haired Lincoln to produce a new breed: Corriedale. This Corriedale was then bred with Merino to add even more softness to the wool.
See my Store Policy FAQs section for further knitting gauge suggestions for various yard weights, a bit about sheep breeds and yarn softness and care instructions for different fibers.
My skeins are wound on a full 2-yard niddy-noddy. If you don’t have a large swift, let me know. Spun in a smoke-free, pet-friendly home.
