Dyed Yarn

Details

Hickory Hills Farm yarn is made from the finest wool of our 100 Rambouillet/Merino Cross Bred ewes and processed at local woolen mills naturally without the use of harsh chemicals. Because the Merino and Rambouillet fleeces are so fine with a lot of crimp in them, they make very soft yet strong yarn.

Caring and Composition

Each sold as a 4oz skein (about 325 yards for 2-ply and 215 yards for 3-ply). The 2-ply yarn has a gauge of 6 stitches per inch while the 3-ply yarn has a guage of 5 stitches per inch. The prices listed include shipping.

The 2-ply is excellent for making indoor sweaters, socks, mitten liners, vests and even hats. The 3-ply is best for making outdoor garments such as warm socks, hats, scarves or mittens.

Caring for our wool is easy and it washes well. Of course you should hand wash most wool products and NEVER put them in the dryer.

Because we raise our sheep on pasture there is some vegetable matter (VM) in the yarn. It is easyily picked out as you work with the yarn.
