Not all wool is created equally. Five gregarious Rambouillet sheep contributed their wool to make this soft, springy yarn. Rambouillet is the French version of the Merino breed, and the fine and soft standards of the wool make the two synonymous. Wear it next to your skin to fully appreciate the cloud-like softness it bears as it effortlessly maintains a comfortable body temp. Ideal for baby wear.
First Harvest bears the mark of my own hands from nearly every step in the production process. I’ve born this yarn from pasture to skein; I’ve lived each transformation of the fiber. With intention, I grew or collected from neighbors the plants that lent their sublime pigments to the fiber. The rainbow drip-dried on my clothesline, a palette to hearken Autumn. And then the wheel, countless revolutions uniting the fibers.
