Lot 1

Our very first! The super-spongy "cottage cheese" yarn spun at Bartlett Yarns on the last commercially operating spinning mule in this country. Begs for cowls. 210 yards / 192 m Weight: Approx. 4.2 oz Suggested needle size: Anywhere from US 7-10 (4.5-6mm) Swatching notes: - Most of the skeins were twisted on the Saco River Dyehouse machine, a nifty device created to save our hands and wrists from an untimely demise. However, the machine twisted these skeins very, very tightly. As soon as you can, please un-twist your hanks, give them a shake, and let them rest. Better yet, hang them in the bathroom when you take your next shower. The steam will revive the fibers beautifully. - Change needle sizes and see what happens to the fabric. As a true woolen-spun yarn, this batch will expand or contract to fill whatever space you give those stitches. - Bloom! This yarn is undyed and has not been washed since it left the scouring plant in Texas. Thus much of Lot 1’s beauty will remain hidden u
