Naturally raised Icelandic sheep wool was processed in a mill using echo friendly detergent. Hand spun into lace weight yarn, then dyed with natural dye, cochineal. Very subtle kasuri design dye. Minimum of 240 yards per skein.
Icelandic sheep are dual coated animals. The long outer guard hair gives strength to the yarn, while the short down gives the softness and warmth to the yarn. Icelandic wool is great for spinning and felting. Using different spinning methods, yarns are perfect for either knitting or weaving.
