Brand new Farmstead Fingering is the little sister of Farmstead Worsted. Like sisters, they share the same roots and character, but each has her own personality. Farmstead Fingering is the lighter and more playful of the pair: similar at heart, but with her own spunky ideas.
The wool comes from the sheep of my former Ohio neighbor, Debbie. I skirted and washed the raw fleeces before sending them off to Vermont’s Green Mountain Spinnery to be woolen spun.
Because I ended up with considerably fewer skeins than expected, Farmstead Fingering is a one-batch wonder. When it’s gone, it’s truly gone.
Botanically dyed, these unique and vibrant colors are derived from plants and other natural materials. This yarn is minimally processed and non-Superwash so you’ll experience that real wool feel.
What will you make with this bouncy 2-ply? How about a cushy pair of socks, a fun mini scarf, or an eye-catching multicolor shawl?
Available online, or shop in person at the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival (Barn 3).
