Brown Heather Yarn

Our yarns include a range of undyed colors from our natural-colored flock, along with a set of plant-dyed tones overdyed on the natural heathers. All of our spinning is done on the semi-worsted system. That means that the wool is pin-drafted after carding, before spinning. This partial combing step creates a smoother, stronger yarn than the 'woolen system' in which yarns are spun directly from roving off the carder. The pin-drafting allows short fibers to drop out (making yarns that are less prone to pilling), and enhances the natural luster of the wool, while still retaining loft. That pin-drafting, along with the mild washing, natural dyes, lustrous fiber and organic management are what give this Montana-made yarn is its special value.
