If you’re in search of a truly luxurious yarn, look no further! Silky soft from both the BFL and Merino, lustrous, and strong, this is an exceptionally adaptable blend. We want to make everything in this yarn, from sweaters to shawls and all the baby knits!
Grown, spun, and botanically hand dyed here in the US!
Our goal has always been to make beautiful, ethically sourced, minimally processed, and naturally dyed yarns, and we are still very much guided by these principles. Our search for local yarns has been long, and there have been many ups and downs along the way, but we are so happy and so proud of where we are today!
All our yarns are sourced locally and spun for us by our friends at Battenkill Fibers. Mary Jeane and her team work closely with small farms within the Hudson Valley to bring us some of the best of what the US has to offer!
All the dyeing magic happens in our kitchen (or balcony for Indigo dyeing) in Astoria, NY! Color is extracted from natural extracts, sustainably foraged plants, or gathered dye stuff that would’ve otherwise gone to waste (such as avocado pits, onion skins, citrus peel, etc). We use non-toxic, food-grade, aluminum potassium sulfate as a mordant.
Needless to say that all our yarns are non-superwash.
