Colorado Pure Merino
Our Colorado Pure Merino naturally dyed yarn is made from wool that is sourced and milled in Colorado. Colorado Pure starts with the finest organic wool sourced from Cactus Hill Farm in southern Colorado. Each fleece is meticulously hand-picked for its luster, staple length, and overall quality. The wool is milled at The Fleece Factory of the Rockies where skilled artisans craft the most exquisite yarns.
Yarn Details:
Content: 100% Colorado Merino
*Weight: Fingering; ~45-50 grams
Length: 200 yards
Source: Cactus Hill Farm
Care: While all fiber has a final washing and is rinsed until the water is clear, some dye may still exist and you may experience some “crocking” - this is when the dye transfers to your hands while knitting. You may also see some bits of leftover raw dye materials in your yarn; this is especially true for yarns dyed with cochineal, sappanwood sawdust, weld plant, and marigold.
Due to the unscientific nature of how I approach natural dying, you may see some “imperfections” in the yarn.
Embrace them.
To maintain the color of your yarn, keep out of direct sunlight for long periods of time and hand wash with a ph neutral soap in cold water.
*Please note: this yarn is made in a small artisan mill where much work is done by hand; yarn weights may vary slightly.
