This yarn is a combination of Beulah’s, one of our purebred Moorit Merino ewe’s yearling fleece, with a gorgeous fleece from a heritage breed Leicester Longwool ewe, named Mary, from Jancek Farm (approx. 30 minutes North of us).

We chose to blend Beulah’s Merino wool (for its softness and her warm neutral color fiber) with Mary’s Leicester Longwool fiber to add strength and luster (shine) to the yarn.

Beulah + Mary’s wool together created a naturally warm neutral colored yarn. Projects I anticipate this yarn being great for include: capsule wardrobe garments such as knitted cardigans and sweaters, socks/slippers, other winterwear items (vests, hats, mittens).

Please note:

~Our selection of Wool Haven yarns and roving are in limited quantities from the fleeces of our own sheep. We encourage you to precisely estimate (or slightly over-estimate) the amount of fiber you will need to ensure you may complete your desired project(s) with our fibers.

~Although we labor to make sure we skirt our flock’s fiber well and do several thorough washings before we bring it to our local mill, our fiber and yarns may contain traces of vegetable matter, such as small pieces of hay and/or straw.
