 BROWN SHEEP Brown Sheep yarns are manufactured right in Nebraska. Today it is unusual to have a yarn made here as many yarns come from other countries. It is wonderful felting, and makes warm fuzzy sweaters, hats, mittens, purses, etc. The wool in the cotton fleece gives the cotton some 'depth' and stability that other cottons do not have. This year is the first year we've carried the Burly Spun - and it is to "dye" for. The colors are so vibrant that you want to have something made from it.
The Brown Sheep company produces a fine grade of wool. It is a product you can trust and feel good about. They have vibrant colors in graduating shades like a rainbow. The worsted and bulky yarns are great for felting. The handpainted yarns provide interest as they are knitted alone or incorporated with other yarns. Lamb's Pride Worsted and Bulky Cotton Fleece Nature Spun Burly Spun Shepherd's Shade - A new yarn...feels wonderful...uses a 10 needle and comes in a variety of beautiful colors.
