This squishable yarn is made from 100% CA grown lamb's wool. Spun up into a 2 ply fingering weight and retaining a little of its natural lanolin, it is a perfect sweater yarn and will retain its body when knit loosely into a shawl. It is spongy-soft and does have a little chaff (hay) in it, the mill doesn't use a harsh chemical wash to dissolve it.
This yarn has been proudly made with US grown & spun wool.
6-8sts/in on US#1-3 needles 2.25-3.25mm
Hand wash in cool water & lay flat to dry for the longest wearing garment.
Jill Draper Makes Stuff (JDMS) was born out of the desire to showcase the many beautiful breeds of wool while appreciating the work of each person & animal involved in the process.
Jill has been a maker as long as she can remember. After graduating Pratt Institute with a degree in Fashion Design & working in NYC for several years Jill realized she craved a closer relationship with the things she was designing. After a move Upstate, Jill started partnering with local farms to buy directly from the people raising the fiber & then bringing it to local mills to have it custom spun into the yarn she dreams up.
All JDMS yarns are made domestically from sheep to skein, including every step in the process.
