Merino/Angora

This yarn blends Angora rabbit with Merino, a soft, sheep wool, creating a very lush, luxurious yarn that feels wonderful next to your skin.

This yarn comes in a fingering/lace weight and a more true lace weight. The lace weight is only available in white.

Angora yarn is famous for shedding, but this is because large commercial mills use angora fiber that has a very short staple length, and then is loosely spun. The angora fibers work their way out of the yarn, ending up on you and everything else.

We harvest the angora wool at a staple length of at least 2½", and have it spun tightly, so it does not shed in the manner of commercially spun angora.

This yarn blends wool from the Jacob sheep with Alpaca. The result is a classic, multi-purpose yarn that has strength, loft, and a silky handle.

The DK and worsted weights are sold in 250 yard skeins. 

The bulky weight is sold by the ounce.

This yarn blends wool from the Jacob sheep with Alpaca and Mohair. This combination creates a yarn that has strength, spring, and sheen. It is spun finer than the Jacob/Alpaca making it suitable for lace knitting. The addition of the Mohair also makes it a good sock yarn, as Mohair is nature's nylon.

This yarn blends wool from the Blue-Face Leicester sheep with Pygora goat. This combination creates a yarn that has strength and sheen. The Pygora blooms out over time, creating a lovely, subtle halo.

It is available in fingering and lace weights. Both are sold in 250 yard skeins.
