There's a new sheep in town - and it's fatter that you thought! New at Asheville Homecrafts is Fatter Sheep yarn from Farmhouse Yarns. Fatter Sheep yarn is hand dyed in semi-solids and multicolor skeins. Sweet or vibrant, the shop has lots of colors so you should find colors that you like. It's 99% wool with a nylon binder, giving the yarn a good bit of texture. The call it 'Fatter Sheep' for a reason - it's a very bulky yarn - perfect for knitting on size 10.5 to size13 needles. And it's put up in big skeins - 150 yards at 5.5 ounces for $24. Long yarns mean fewer knots in your knitting or crochet -and fewer ends to weave in. But the nature of the dyeing means that you might want to alternate your knitting between 2 skeins.
Keep your eye on the blog this week - I'll keep tempting you with yummy and luscious yarns!
