DK

The hardy sheep that bring us this remarkable wool roam freely on the grassland of the Tibetan Plateau at an altitude of over 4000 mt. Out of deep respect for animal welfare, nomads shear the sheep by hand in the traditional way that has been used for centuries, collecting the fiber following the natural life rhythms of the animals and the people who raise them. Tibetan sheep are a very strong breed that have adapted to the rough environmental conditions of the Himalayan plateau.

The herd that produces fiber for mYak Tibetan Cloud comes from a poorer area of Tibet, intentionally chosen to bring a better income to these communities. mYak aims to give this thousand of years old nomadic lifestyle an opportunity to thrive and prosper in uncertain modern times. The fiber is spun and dyed in Biella, at the foothills of the Italian Alps, the cradle of most ancient and prestigious Italian textile excellence.

With approximately 260 yards per skein and a 13 wraps per inch (wpi) gauge, Entropy DK offers both versatility and durability. BFL wool's long fibers help prevent pilling, so your projects will stay looking fresh, even after repeated wear. The yarn’s natural sheen adds depth and dimension to your work, while its breathable qualities keep your pieces warm yet comfortable.

Named for the “entropy” effect of its hand-dyed colorways, this yarn creates an ever-changing, gradient-like effect as you knit. Each skein is a beautiful mix of colors that subtly gradate and shift in smooth transitions giving your projects have that gorgeous hand-spun look. 

North Bay Fiber yarn is certified under the American Wool Assurance (AWA) program. In order to become AWA certified, the American Sheep Industry Association completes a rigorous process that insures the sheep are raised according to high standards for animal welfare, land stewardship, and responsible farm management. Not only ensuring the comfort of the animals, but security for the environment with traceability and accountability of the farm and fibers.

Hand-dyed in Malabrigo’s signature vibrant palette, Verano comes in a gorgeous range of tonal, variegated, and bold multi-colorways that bring cotton to life. This worsted-weight yarn knits up beautifully for breathable tops, shawls, lightweight sweaters, and accessories that can be worn year-round. 

Like all hand-dyed yarns, we recommend alternating skeins for larger projects. Machine washable on gentle cycle, though handwashing is always best to preserve color and texture.

With the aim to support small wool producers, Mota was developed as a collaboration with several ranching families, each contributing the finest wool their flocks had to offer in order to produce this very special yarn.

Mota is a collection made entirely in the heart of Castile-La Mancha, and is named to honor the town of Mota del Cuervo, where WoolDreamers has it's roots. Thanks to the proximity of the farms to the mill, Mota is produced with one of the smallest carbon footprints on the market.

Spun from carefully selected fleeces from each ranch, Mota shows that even the smallest ranches can produce valuable wools. The resulting yarn is a soft and lofty 3-ply DK that will give each project a special connection to the origins of their materials. Offered in a wide variety of colors and shades, Mota lets your imagination run free!
