Straw's Farm Island Sheep, Newcastle, Maine

(actually raised on an island in Penobscott Bay, but the farmer who tends to them is in Newcastle).

These yarns are all three ply, and all spun semi-worsted to true worsted, making them hardwearing and perfect for gloves, socks, armwarmers, and etc.

Like all my dyed yarn, I used only plant based dyes (organic when possible) and a few assists to achieve bright, light fast colors. If you are unfamiliar with the quirks of yarns dyed with natural indigo, please see my About Indigo page before placing your purchase.

Gauge: 9 to 11 st/in, needles size 0-3

Length: approx 110 yds
