We have many wool and wool blend yarns available.  Handspun yarn makes a great gift for the knitter!  Loretta has been spinning for 17+ years and focuses on producing a consistent quality product.  We have some fabulous custom mill-spun yarns made for us from the fibers produced on our farm. They are spun at Taos Valley Wool Mill and are designed as both knitting and weaving yarns. All fibers are washed gently using no harsh chemicals (industrial carbonization can cause wool to be very stiff and scratchy) thus, you will notice some hay fiber in the yarn. It falls out easily when working with the yarn.

We specialize in blends!

We have some wonderful roving available. Much of it is made at Taos Valley Wool mill. The wool is carded and made into roving. It is then passed through a pin drafter to achieve an almost parallel configuration of the fibers. The resulting yarn is a semi-worsted product.

We usually have many different blends.  Contact us for current inventory.
