This is a beautiful naturally white finnsheep yarn from the Point of View Farm white finnsheep. It is a fingering weight 3 ply sock yarn, 150 yards. each skein weighs around 1.7 ounces. It is 75% Finnsheep wool with 25% nylon added. It should knit well on US 3-5 needles at about 23-26 stitches per 4″. WPI=19
The finnsheep wool in this yarn was raised on my farm by the Point of View Farm Finnsheep ewes who are specifically selected for top quality fiber to produce the most luxurious of wool yarns. The flock is pasture raised in the Hudson Valley region of New York and given the utmost in care and love. We know happy healthy sheep produce beautiful fiber. This wool was spun into yarn at a small US mill to our exact specifications.
While we refer to this yarn as sock yarn, it actually has many other uses as well. Point of View Farm customers have used it for weaving warp and shawl projects too.
The Point of View Finnsheep flock is raised as naturally as possible. That means we never dip our sheep in or pour pesticides on them. The pastures they graze are never treated with chemicals other than compost from our own farm. The mill uses mild soaps to clean the wool and not harsh detergents. This keeps the wool soft, lofty and ‘healthy’ for your special project.
