Reserved for Holly - buying Hand dyed yarn- DK Weight - 800 yards - Indie dyed Yarn - Sock Yarn - Colorway: Water Lily Pond

This Targhee Wool yarn is so wonderful to work with. I have used it for Shawls, socks and sweaters so far. It is a joy in every way, nice and squishy, great elasticity and it is so soft. The Targhee breed was developed right here in the USA, in Dubois, Idaho. In the 1920's the breed was created to thrive in the western and high plains. The wool is very soft and has good elasticity. Targhee takes dye beautifully, I love the vibrant colors I can achieve with this base.

All of my yarn is hand dyed by me. I dye all of my yarn and fiber using Eco-Friendly dyes and I set the color with steam and Citric Acid. I carefully mix all buying of my colors to create the color ways you see.

Each skein is sold separately. Each skein is 400 yards.

I have photographed the yarn in natural light and have tried to get the color to be as close to the actual color but please note every monitor is different so there may be a slight difference.

I dye the yarn in batches of 3 to 6 skeins at a time so the dye lots are the same for each color way.

Allegheny Fiber Arts is a smoke free but pet friendly home. Two dogs and two cats are kept away from the yarn though!
