This Border Leicester Wool is spun at Blue Mountain Farm & Fiber Mill with a mix of Crown Hill Farm’s fibers from our mindfully-raised sheep — Sarah, Abraham, Lily, Ruth & Isaac and some dark Border Leicester fleece gifted to me.
This 3-ply is twisted from 1-ply white and 2-ply dark wool.
Rusty Rose is dyed from madder root which can give a range of rusty orange to deep maroon. I love this rose pink with a hint of rusty orange color to it.
Due to the nature of natural dye, there may be slight variations in color throughout each skein.
Everything from Crown Hill Farm are Heirloom varieties and Heritage breeds, sustainably and mindfully grown with respect to land, plants, animals and soil.
