Mitchell Wool Co., based on a family farm in Michigan, raises sheep-to-skein, completely American wool. The sheep live on the Mitchell farm, a neighbor grows the hay, and the mill that spins the yarn is just 40 miles down the road. They then hand-dye the yarn with natural dyes, mostly from plants grown on the farm. Their yarns aren't superwash treated, but due to the high-quality fiber and spinning techniques, they are still unbelievably soft and squishy.
