This yarn is made from the fleece of the Dufurrena Merino/Rambouillet sheep that live in the mountains and foothills of Northern Nevada. The Dufurrena Sheep Company carry on the Basque tradition of sheep ranching in Nevada and provide superior quality Merino Rambouillet fleece. Lovely Valley Wool is owned and operated by Magen Dufurrena and offers un-dyed yarn from the Dufurrena Sheep Company and beautiful hand-woven camp blankets. You can find Lovely Valley Wool here. FFTP is working in collaboration with Magen of Lovely Valley Wool to source yarn from the Dufurrena Sheep Company (which is milled by Mountain Meadow Wool, a small, family-owned mill in Buffalo, Wyoming) in order to provide a regionally local (Nevada) hand-dyed yarn.
