About the yarns:
Sincere Sheep Cormo Sport is a 3-ply, 100% Cormo wool yarn. This fine wool yarn is soft and springy, with a bit of tooth to it. The yarn’s structure and the tight crimp of the Cormo give this Cormo Sport a lot of flexibility in gauge and good memory, which means that you can knit this yarn at the pattern’s gauge—looser than usual for sport weight—and the garment will keep its shape.

Spincycle Dyed in the Wool is a 2-ply light sport weight yarn of 100% Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) wool. Designed to be similar to handspun yarn, each ply slowly changes colour to give long, evolving colour changes. While skeins within a colourway will use the same colours, each skein is unique. BFL is the softest and crimpiest of the longwools, and Dyed in the Wool has a fairly springy ply, so it combines well with the Cormo Sport.

Both Sincere Sheep Cormo Sport and Spincycle Yarns Dyed in the Wool are made in the USA from sheep to skein.

When choosing yarns for your project, look for wool or wool blends with good memory that give a fabric that will keep its shape at the pattern’s gauge.
