This 100% Wool was sourced from Lincoln County, Maine. I actually found this wool on eBay and discovered that it is from Kelmscott Farm, a farm that was sold in the 1990s. The yarn is a blend of rare breeds that combines Cotswold, Delaine Merino, Jacob, and Shetland wools. It has a soft hand.

Each skein offers 140 yards of luxurious, bulky weight lopi yarn and has been hand-dyed in my kitchen with Greener Shades Organic Dyes.

Green and Purple Maine Rare Breeds Lopi embodies timeless quality and unique heritage.

Care of fine Woolens

Washing Fine Garments or Yarn By Hand

Washing fine natural yarn or garments by hand is always

recommended. Fill a basin with warm water and a mild and gentle

detergent. All natural liquid laundry detergents with a neutral pH

are best. Submerge your garment in the water and gently wash

being careful not to rub too much. It is the agitation that makes

wool and other animal fibers shrink and felt, so being gentle is

important. Squeeze the soapy water out of the garment, set aside,

and fill your basin with rinse water. Rinse in the same manner, and

without twisting or wringing the garment, squeeze as much water as

you can from it. To get more water out, wrap the item in a large

beach towel and stand on it. If it is a garment, place it on a flat

surface to dry. Hang yarn to dry on a rack.

If you have a top loading washing machine, you can use the spin

cycle to help you remove a heavily wet garment. Remember, do not

put it on the rinse cycle; use the spin cycle only. I would not

recommend using a front loading washing machine because most of

them do not allow you to use the spin cycle manually. Avoid putting

fine natural animal fiber garments or yarn into an electric or gas

dryer.
