Most colors are back in stock!
I'm excited to announce the launch of my new yarn line! After extensive research and testing I finally found a source in the US for small batch dying of wool rug yarn. It's 100% New Zealand wool, spun in India and dyed to my specifications in the US. There are no longer any yarn spinners in the US so finding a quality source hasn't been easy.
This yarn is perfect for tufting, punch needle, weaving and many other textile crafts.
It is skein dyed using 5 pound skeins and the dyeing process takes a minimum of 6 hours. Each spool is 1,000 yards, and the thickness of the yarn is 3/37. It's also moth-proofed to prevent flying critters from munching on your work.
I regularly add colors to my line, so check back often!
Specifications:
Yarn size: 3/37
Wraps per inch :14-16
Weight per 673 yards (616 meters): 1 lb 1 oz (.48 kg)
Why wool?
- Over
it’s lifetime, a sheep’s fleece will absorb approximately 30Kg of carbon dioxide. -
Naturally biodegradable, choosing wool minimizes the amount of waste that sits in landfills. Wool biodegrades in weeks to less than 1 year depending on environmental conditions and this is due to
it’s high nitrogen content. - Wool can absorb indoor contaminants, including formaldehyde, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide and locks them away in the fiber core.
- Wool’s high nitrogen and water content makes it naturally flame resistant. Wool does not ignite easily and will self-extinguish. Should wool burn it does not melt while burning. Wool produces less smoke and toxic fumes during combustion than synthetic fibers, making it a far safer choice.
