Purchased from Labadie Loom, this yarn is made up of the wool from the various sheep farms Labadie Loom receives their rovings from, and is hand-spun, then hand-dyed by the store. Labadie Looms has tuns of specialized hand-spun and hand-dyed fibers including Mohair for an incredible 12 U.S dollars for a hand dyed hand spun kid-mohair of 112 yards. I had to guess the weight, and have no clue how it will knit up or crochet up, but it is a worthwhile trip to visit Labadie if you are in the PA area!
