From SoulWool.net:

“Our yarn is the finest, softest Merino money can buy. Handspun and hand-dyed in Israel with only natural dyes.

Our yarn is spun by our friends from the Palestinian villages near Jerusalem. Since everything is done manually, the conditions do not allow for a lot of accuracy in the weight of each skein. So even though they are titled “skein”, we price our products by weight, and when you order 3 skeins of 3.5 oz each, it is possible that you receive 2 skeins of 6 oz each. In any case, we always deliver slightly more than the weight you order. “
