Description

Wool/Nylon DK Weight Handdyed Sock Yarn -- Twisted Sisters in Yellow -- 4 oz.

We started with the sheep on this project! Our Suffolk sheep come in two shades--white and grey. We kept the different color wools separate after shearing, and sent it off to the woolen mill here in Michigan. They washed, carded and spun it into a lovely two-tone grey and white DK weight 2-ply yarn. It has nylon added for strength. Suffolk wool is known for its springiness, and is a great choice for making socks. While I am pleasantly surprised with how soft it is, not everyone will find this yarn a good choice for next-to-the-skin articles of clothing (other than socks, of course--our feet seem able to take a bit more).

We skeined it off into approximately 350 yd. skeins. These skeins were kettle dyed (with colorfast dyes for quality, lasting colors) a bright yellow. Because of the nature of hand dyeing, variations in color occur. These variations in no way diminish the beauty of the yarn; in fact, they add a dimension that is not available in commercially dyed products.
