This is one of the softest yarns for socks! Try it on your hard-to-please "wool is itchy" friend, they will be surprised. This yarn is in it's natural color state, but accepts dye in that watercolor way that mohair does! Easier to wash than wool and doesn't shrink as much either!
Skeins are 180 yards and approximately 4 oz.
When you buy five skeins, you get one free!
Rancho Descansamos was started in 2004 in Wells, Vermont. We are a three-generational family, some of whom are from Mexico. We raise a variety of goats, including pygmys, angoras, and several adoptees who are living out their natural lives with us as pets. We have other barnyard animals as well.
We raise the angora goats for their fiber and sell it as rovings, as well as processing the fleeces from a neighbor's Romney sheep. All of the animals enjoy the lush summers in Vermont where they are able to graze in the pastures of our farm. We grow our own hay and supplement with alfalfa and grain in the winter.
If you would be interested in the raw fiber of any of our animals, contact us in early March or early September.
