Grand River Sock

Agrestal Yarn
Our sock yarn is a soft, durable blend of wool and mohair. Although nylon is often used in socks to ensure long wear-ability, mohair is an excellent natural alternative.
The wool used is a blend of Coopworth and Dorset breeds, raised on Amherst Island in Ontario. Coopworth fleece is very lustrous with long locks, increasing the durability of the wool. Dorset wool is known for its softness and loft, which allows the knitted garment to trap in warmth. The mohair is from Angora goats from a farm in Elora. The yarn is spun at the mill on location at the farm in Elora.
These unique fibres combine to make a beautiful yarn with a natural shine. It is durable enough for socks and soft enough to wear against the skin.
