Wool yarn from Lismore Sheep Farm.
Yarn is worsted weight, 2 ply, sold in 4 ounce (113 grams), 215 yds (meters) skeins. All yarn is processed in the Maritimes, and washed without beach or harsh chemicals so much of the natural lanolin remains in the wool keeping the yarn soft and smooth. It is lovely to work with for knitting, crocheting, hooking or weaving.
