by Sarah Lake Upton in , ,


I still have a few more colors in the works, but I wanted to get these up when I had the time. Check out the new colors on the Fingering Weight page.  (Still to come, a hunter green, dark gray, light gray, and maybe a few more blues?). 

Straw's Farm Island Sheep fingering weight - Charismatic Carrot
$10.00

Thank you creative Instagramers for the naming help!

Worsted-spun 3-Ply fingering weight from the island raised sheep of Straw's Farm in Newcastle, Maine.  I love this yarn.  Smooth, with just a little bit of bounce, it would be perfect for socks, or Sanquhar gloves, or a whole sweater (I may do all three).  This yarn is pleasure to dye and a pleasure to knit with.  

Suggested Needle: US sizes 0-3

Length: approx 110 yards

Dye(s): Madder root, Lac, Weld

In other news, we bought a house yesterday.  A whole house.  With a very cool barn.  And a work space for Upton Yarns. It doesn't quite feel real yet.
