Note to Vermont knitters on Ravelry's Vermont Knitters group: you have first dibs! If you want any and are going to the Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival on Saturday, September 6th, I'll bring it and you'll save on shipping! Shipping is $4.50 for up to a pound. I'll let you know what it is for a skein or two, although I'd prefer to sell each color as a group. I'll sell the entire lot for $85! That's 2,165+ yards!
First batch up is Vermont wool, and Vermont wool/mohair blend. This yarn was spun by Green Mountain Spinnery about 8 years ago, but has been stored safely with no moths or yarn deterioration. I just washed all the skeins, and have re-skeined them. The yarn is a singles yarn. Some of it is slightly thick and thin, but the majority of it (90%+) is w
orsted weight to maybe slightly heavier worsted weight. All this wool is from a woman who lives in Morrisville, Vermont, from her sheep and mohair goats.
White Vermont wool: 12 oz approx 660 yards $30This yarn is very soft, light and lofty, some thick and thin. Will dye easily,
and probably felt well too! Great for socks, hats, mittens.Grey Vermont wool with about 15% mohair: 16 oz. approx 890 yards $40 (PLUS 170+ yards skein that is slightly bulkier)
I made a sweater out of some of this yarn 8 years ago, and it's warm, soft, and a little fuzzy from the mohair. One of my "comfy" sweaters!
Red: Grey Vermont wool with 15% mohair, overdyed with red: 6.65 oz ap
prox 365 yards $16.Enough for a pair of socks, or maybe a hat and small mittens? Or buy it and add as an accent yarn with the grey.
Green: the same white yarn dyed in a pale, lovely green. 4.6 oz approx 250 yards, $10. Soft and light! Nice for socks.
Thanks for checking out this stuff. I'll have more up later. Email me or comment here with any questions.
Have a great day!
