Another beautiul yarn in our American Ewe family! This three ply has a special twist. One of the plies is superwash, the other two plies are not superwash, hence the marled effect.

We hand dye them with slightly tonal colors in Schoharie, NY.

All the yarn in the American Ewe Yarn comes from the Shaniko Wool Co. where the 10 ranches involved follow Responsible Wool Standards (RWS). The RWS is a third-party audited voluntary standard that farms and ranches follow to ensure the welfare of the sheep which are treated humanely, the land they graze is managed appropriately for improved soil health, and workers involved throughout are treated fairly. Each ranch is audited annually to ensure compliance with the standards. The scouring facility that cleans the wool and the mill that spins the wool into yarn are currently in the process of also obtaining an RWS audit which ensures the traceability of this yarn from ranch to skein.

Care: handwash, lay flat to dry.,
