Fiber Details: "Garden Landscape" is a two ply yarn mill spun yarn from hand dyed 30% Blue Faced Leicester (BFL) and Shetland wool and 70% white mohair. The high mohair content gives the skein a beautiful luster and slight halo. The mohair content makes the yarn longer lasting and more lustrous than pure wool. Entirely USA made of fiber from USA raised sheep and goats (primarily from my own animals).

Uses: Best suited to uses where durability is more important than super softness to the skin, such as knitted/crocheted outer wear, rug hooking or weaving. This yarn will soften with washing.

Color: This yarn will produce small patches of color or Fair Isle type patterning. The colors include purple, teal, aqua, yellow and white in roughly 2 inch sections. The colors are clear, deep and overall stunning!

Creation Details: Entirely USA made of fiber from my Angora goats and BFL sheep, supplemented with fibers from other small USA farmers. We are an animal friendly farm - no animals are taken to slaughter - which is why the majority of my fibers are from goats older than 2 years. Millspun to my specifications in Michigan, then hand dyed by me using Rit dyes.
