Coopworth sheep have a lustrous, relatively long staple wool that creates a hard wearing yarn perfect for gloves, socks, hats, and sweaters.

The Coopworth wool for this yarn comes from Buckwheat Blossom Farm, Wiscasset Maine. After spinning, I hand dye this yarn in small baches using only natural dyes. For more information, please visit my website.
