Yarn Information:

100% Nash Island Wool

Cottage-Spun, Hand Dyed

175 yds / 160 m  -  3.5 oz / 100 g
Light Worsted Weight

size 7 US / 4.5mm needles recommended 


Fiber Information:

During shearing we carefully select fleeces for our Nash Island Light yarn. 

The Coopworth-Romney breeding in the flock provides open & wavy locks with excellent fiber strength, while the Corriadale breeding has given the wool finer crimp and more elasticity. 

The resulting yarn has the perfect blend of softness, bounce and luster.


Colorway Information:

We're always inspired by the colors found in the rugged nature of Nash Island and Downeast Maine. 

Our special lobster pot kettle- dyeing technique creates subtle variations in color in each skein.  Light & dark highlights of single hues create beautiful shading in even the simplest knitting.
 
If you're ordering multiple skeins, we'll make sure they're from the same dye pot.


Shipping Information:

Often we are able to ship your yarn immediately, getting it to your door in 3-4 business days.

If we need to dye to order, please allow us 1-2 weeks for delivery.  We will notify you if there will be a delay in your order.

Yarn prices include FREE DOMESTIC SHIPPING.

Please email for International shipping quotes.
