Mitchell Wool Co. Rambouillet DK
Mitchell Wool Co. Rambouillet DK
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.
Made with ultra-fine Rambouillet, this yarn is a 2-ply, woolen-spun DK weight. It feels like a cloud in your hands! Never super washed, the yarn has been naturally mordanted to lock in the color as much as possible.
Curious about the dyeing process? Their natural dyes are derived from the following sources:
- Reds: madder root
- Pinks: cochineal beetle
- Yellows: marigold & fustic
- Greens: mulberry & chlorophyll
- Blues: jasmine & logwood
Please understand that this yarn is hand-dyed with natural dyes. The colors on individual skeins may vary somewhat from the photos, and they will fade over time if exposed to direct sunlight. Furthermore, some natural dyes (indigo and madder) crock, meaning a small amount of excess dye may rub off on your hands while working with the yarn.
