Great White Bale Lot 2

The "wait, no, seriously, this is woolen-spun too?!" marvel of a yarn that was spun at Blackberry Ridge in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin. 305 yards / 279 mWeight: Approx. 4.2 ozSuggested needle size: Anywhere from US 5-7 (3.75-4.5mm) The second of four yarns spun out of a single, 676-pound bale of scoured superfine Saxon Merino from upstate New York as part of the Great White Bale narrative yarn adventure that was the foundation for Clara's book, Vanishing Fleece. Lot 2 was spun in Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin, at the Blackberry Ridge Woolen Mill. We left one skein au naturel, the other was sent to Kristine at A Verb for Keeping Warm. There she and Adrienne naturally dyed it using madder extract in a technique that gave deliciously subtle varying shades of saturation. Lot 2 is another truly one-of-a-kind yarn that can never be repeated. Swatching notes: - As with Lot 1, I urge you to play with needle sizes and see what happens to the fabric. While it looks far smoother and more ”worstedy” than Lot
