This 100% wool blend of primarily Bluefaced Leicester, with some Texel and Scotch Mule, offers exceptional crimp and luster. Sourced from a sheep farm in upstate New York, the fiber was scoured at Chargeurs in South Carolina and hand-dyed in the wool at our mill for consistent, non-pooling colors. It was then carded, pin-drafted, and spun on-site. This yarn pairs perfectly with our Making Tracks DK line and supports American-grown wool.
