Starcroft purchases scrap fiber from larger mills in Maine to reprocess and use in our Superstar line, making it a truly unique and recycled yarn! Nash Island Sweater Yarn A luxurious yarn in island-inspired colorways. Starcroft Fiber Mill takes the softest of the Nash Island fleeces and gently washes them in biodegradable soaps. The cleaned fibers are then carded and "cottage-spun" on our Mini-Mill machines. This type of spinning process creates soft luxurious yarns that echo the texture and nuances of handspun yarn. After spinning, the yarn is hand-dyed in colors inspired by the beauty of nature found on the islands of Downeast Maine. Starcroft believes in supporting the livelihood of local farmers and 100% of Nash Island yarn is from Nash Island sheep. |
