{"title":"Shaniko","description":"\u003ch4\u003eThe Shaniko Collection begins with some of the finest wool produced in the United States, sourced from family ranches committed to responsible land stewardship, animal welfare, and full traceability. Certified to the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) and NATIVA Regen standards, this fiber reflects a dedication to regenerative practices and transparency. At The Dye Smith, each skein is then naturally dyed using plants, roots, flowers, and insects, creating colors with depth, softness, and subtle variation.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eChosen for its consistency, softness, and versatility, Shaniko yarn features a smooth three-ply construction that offers excellent stitch definition, elasticity, and durability. Spun in North Carolina, it provides a reliable, beautifully balanced fabric ideal for garments and accessories. Unlike our Colorado Pure collection, Shaniko offers dependable uniformity—making it the perfect canvas for natural dyes and everyday luxury knitting.\u003c\/h4\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"shaniko-wool-fingering","title":"Shaniko Wool - Fingering","description":"\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShaniko Fingering is a beautifully smooth, naturally dyed yarn spun from premium American Shaniko wool.
