Base Descriptions
You're The Worsted is a lovely bouncy yarn that would be great for a cabled hat, as well as used for a fun colorwork sweater.
Fingerling is special for it's beautiful hand. The cashmere combined with the merino and nylon makes this base both soft and strong. Make a pair of soft, squishy socks or a luxurious wrap.
Rock 'Em Sock 'Em is the cool and slightly nerdy cousin of Fingerling... Bluefaced Leicester has an incredibly long staple length (that's how long the fiber of the wool is) and coupled with nylon, any socks you knit with this will wear like iron, but still be soft and cozy.
Care
Hand wash in cool water, lay flat to dry. Some color bleeding is totally normal for the first wash or two. You may also dry on low heat in dryer if your garment grows during washing.
About the dyer
Farm & Wuzzies is hand dyed in small batches by Erin. Her 11-year-old, Sam, is her Chief Color Consultant.
FREE Yarn Winding
Many of our yarns are sold in hanks rather than balls and need to be wound into a "cake" before using. If you'd like us to do this for you, please add the Ball Winding Service to your order of yarn! (Please note: wound yarn can not be returned.)
"I'm so excited to finally find my perfect local yarn store. They carry such an amazing range of yarns, from locally sourced to small batch sheep to skein to naturally dyed. I've been twice (so far!) and I'm always greeted so nicely. It doesn't feel clique-y or snobby as some shops do. Their range is really amazing and so far I've gotten sweater yarn and yarn for 2 different shawls here. Dawn is great with color advice too. Highly reccomend!" - Google Review
"I couldn't leave this shop a high enough score. 10000/10. The instant I walked in, I was given a warm greeting and was immediately helped. I went in for sock yarn but, was overwhelmed by all the amazing local yarn. I love that they have a direct relationship with their yarn artisans. She even stayed a few minutes past closing when I was having problems picking just one skein. Never felt rushed or like she wanted me gone. She took the time to make sure I was getting exactly the righ.t product and even put my skein into a cake That's an amazing service that I've never been offered before. I can't say enough good things about this place. Ill definitely be making the trip there more often!" - Google Review
