White Finnsheep and Mulberry Silk Worsted Weight Yarn

This is a beautiful white 80% Finnsheep and 20% Mulberry Silk blend worsted weight yarn.  It is a worsted weight 3 ply yarn, approximately 225 yards.  Each skein weighs around 4.3-4.4 ounces. Suitable for knit, crochet, weaving weft or fulled felted projects. It drapes beautifully and would be an excellent choice for next to the skin wear.

The finnsheep wool in this yarn was bred, born, raised and shorn entirely at Point of View Farm Finnsheep. These ewes are specifically selected for top quality fiber to produce the most luxurious of yarns. The mulberry silk adds luster and drape to the yarn. Mulberry silk is the more expensive silk. A higher grade silk than you might find in most commercially available yarn. Most commercial yarns list just ‘silk’, not the type/ grade of silk. Silk grade and quality matters. Only the best…that is kind of a motto here at Point of View Farm.

The Point of View Farm 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. Ask us about them. We are pretty passionate about our sheep and shepherding. This wool was spun into yarn at a small US mill to our exact specifications. This yarn dyes up like a dream. If you wants sharp vibrant colors finn and silk are excellent fiber choices.

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, only compost from our own farm. The mill uses mild soaps to clean the wool and not harsh processes. This keeps the wool soft, lofty and ‘healthy’ for your special project.
