Saxon Merino Worsted

Natural Colors In Limited Edition

Soft Saxon Merino wool from our sheep is spun on the woolen system and twisted into a singles worsted-weight yarn at the Green Mountain Spinnery in Vermont. The yarn is then hand dyed at the farm with natural dyes in small, limited-edition lots; most colors are one of a kind.

2 ounce (50 gram) skeins measure 140 yards in length. Expect 5-6.5 stitches per inch using US 5-8/3.75-5.25 mm needles.

Hand-wash and dry flat.
