Blackberry Ridge

In the mode of Buy Local, our newest wool is spun from Mid-West fleece and produced by a Mid-West mill. This hand-dyed, 2-ply finger-weight is beautifully soft. Colors are dyed in small batches of 20, so make certain to order plenty for your project. The tam at left is the first item I knitted with sample skeins sent to me by the mill. Knit on 180 sts @ 7 sts to 1", the tam took only 1 oz of each color; I love knitting with this soft wool. Material: 100% Wool Weight: 1 oz. skein Yardage: 110 yds Approx. Gauge: 7 sts to 1 inch Price: $7.80 per skein for colors; $7.00 per skein for naturals.
