This is non-superwash wool, so you know you're getting all the best natural attributes of this special wool. TARGHEE SHEEP’S WOOL Targhee sheep were developed in Idaho. They’re a cross between Rambouillet, Corriedale and Lincoln Sheep. They’re named after the Targhee National Forest where they were developed. Targhee wool is classified as a fine wool. It drafts nicely, takes color well and has a matte finish. It rivals merino in softness, but with a silkier feel. It’s lovely for many things, but especially for wool that will have skin contact. ONE OF OUR LOCAL MILLS Abundant Earth Fiber Mill is a Small Mill on Whidbey Island. They spin this yarn in small batches from local farms. They take care to spin the yarn at a gauge that lines up with many popular patterns. We think you're going to love it's squishy, soft versatility. DETAILS 100% US Targhee 400 y/3.5 oz.
