About Our Yarn Bases
We offer you the yarn bases we love best! Our yarn and fiber are hand dyed in small batches by Kristin, and carefully selected to be soft, durable, and sustainable. All of our wool comes from from sheep that have not been subject to mulesing.
Here's a brief description of our current offerings so you can choose the base that best fits your project. Needle/hook sizes are general suggestions--you may use a wide variety of sizes to achieve the fabric best suited to your project.
