YARN

Tumalo Fiber's Caldera Fingering is a hardy skein spun from 100% Cormo wool. The 2-ply configuration creates a prominent stitch definition when worked up. This yarn is as bouncy and robust as it is irresistibly soft, crafted for makers who want crisp stitch definition. 

The Cormo sheep, originally bred in Tasmania in the 1960s by crossing Corriedale and superfine Merino, bring together the best of both breeds: the resilience and loft of Corriedale, and the buttery softness of Merino. The result is a wool that’s springy, elastic, and next-to-skin soft – with a fine micron count that rivals luxury fibers.

Owner and primary dyer, Jean, doesn't hold back on playing around with colors. Her unique colorways range from tonal neons, earthy variegated, and thrilling speckles! And in a nod to the rockers of the 80s and 90s, they are named after her favorite songs. It's a Gen X trip down Memory Lane!

Juni + Si, pronounced Ju-Knee and Sigh, is named after the owner's grandchildren Juniper and Silas. Dyed out of Snoqualmie, Washington, Jean wants to acknowledge and honor the native people who have heavily contributed to the art of dyeing. 

As with all hand-dyed yarns, Juni + Si are dyed in small lots. Color, tonality and speckle amounts may vary from skein to skein, lot to lot and monitor to monitor.

Lang Yarns' Cashmere Light Colors yarn is made from the same base as Cashmere Light. These Light colorways let the artist explore an enjoyable wisp of variegation. Tuning into the natural softness of cashmere, this yarn is not spun. Rather, the cashmere roving is knit loosely with a nylon core and constructed into a chainnette yarn.

Since 2018, Lang Yarns decided to only source their sheep fibers from mulesing-free productions. This controversial procedure is a solution to avoiding infestation from fly maggots (myiasis). Lang Yarns has a helpful resource on their website where a customer can trace their yarn and learn more about the origins of their specific fiber. The "Trace your Yarn" page allows for a deeper understanding of farms, fiber animals, and their shearing processes, all the way to the finished product!

Led by champion of the American wool industry, Jeanne Carver, Shaniko Wool Co. is a truly sustainable wool.

Manchelopis is a love song to Spain's most ubiquitous dairy-producing sheep - the Manchega Sheep. If you've been lucky enough to savor a slice of Manchego cheese, you've meet the Manchega Sheep. With Manchelopis, WoolDreamers honors the value of the fiber of Manchega sheep, a breed native to the Castilla-La Mancha region where WoolDreamers makes its home.

Manchelopis is blended from the wool of two unique flocks being raised using traditional ranching practices and with compassion for the sheep and the lands they graze on. With one flock produces dark brown wool and the other white. Manchelopis began with a range of colors in a light to dark gradient by simply blending the two wools together. 

The white wool comes from Las Banderas Livestock, situated in la Serrania de Cuenca. The flock of Manchega sheep is looked after by Raul who practices transhumance, taking the sheep from pasture to pasture with the seasons.

The dark brown wool comes from a flock of rare black Manchega Sheep raised by Jose de Jesus Gimenez Diezma Ranch. The sheep graze freely on the lands of Los Montes de Toledo and only seek shelter when they require Jose’s care.

Manchelopis is now offered in a palette of dyed colors as well as the original undyed, blended neutral.

Manchelopis comes in a 100g “wheel.” The unspun 2-ply structure of this yarn allows for it to be worked at a variety of gauges depending on the desired fabric.

According to a given season's yak down color, mYak obtains three natural shades (chocolate, desert and oatmeal) which are then dyed, resulting in a palette of rich, soft colors evocative of the five elements of nature. Most yaks produce deep shades of fiber, therefore light colors are very rare and even more precious.

No bleaching or decoloring is done prior to dyeing, therefore each color will vary from season to season depending on the shade of the natural fibers. At times, the resulting shades will be darker and other times they will be lighter. There fore the shades represented online may not exactly match what we have in stock. We recommending purchasing enough to complete your project.
