The fleece for this yarn comes from Buckwheat Blossom farm, a horse powered biodynamic farm in Wiscasset Maine.  In my area of midcoast Maine, coopworth are popular with small organic farmers and folks who want a small spinning flock. They are sturdy, low fuss animals who do well on marginal pasture, tend towards twins and triplets and are good mothers. They also produce a long staple, lustrous wool that is a wonderfully easy to spin and frankly, gorgeous.

Like all my dyed yarn, I used only plant based dyes (organic when possible) and a few assists to achieve bright, light fast colors.

Gauge: 19 to 24 stitches and 27 to 36 rows per 4 inches on size 3-5 needles. 

Length: approx. 90 yards
