Their 2023 fleeces were processed individually, and their 2024 fleeces were were combined. Listing price is per skein.

PROCESS

CARE
All items made with untreated (non-superwash) wool should be hand washed in cold water, and laid flat to dry. Spot cleaning will help prolong the life of your knitwear!
