We've transformed the fleece from these rare and beautiful sheep into a gorgeous, full and bouncy yarn that is deliciously soft. Made from undyed and 100% pure Gulf Coast Native wool sourced from their native lands of Georgia, here in the United States. Featuring a fine even crimp that supports defined cables and texture work. It was sorted, scoured, drafted, and spun into two weights: sport (2-ply) and aran weight (3-ply), because it was impossible to choose between them!
Released in its pure, natural, undyed glory, this replicates the original yarns of our ancestors and stays true to our knitting heritage.
