Lovely drape and color of llama plus the elasticity and memory of wool is a wonderful combination for knitting, crochet or weaving. The rich heathered colors are created by dyeing some of the fleece and blending before spinning.
yarn character: 2-ply, semi-worsted spun; heathered colors created by blending natural color llama with undyed and dyed-in-the-wool Romney fleece.
fiber content/care: 50% llama and 50% Romney wool. Pre-washed. Hand wash warm with low agitation, lay flat to dry. 
  size: fingering weight, 19 wpi 1400 to 1600 yds per pound
suggested needles: 3 to 5 (US) gauge: 6 sts. per inch on size 4 (US)
skein length: approximately 270 yards/245 meters
skein weight: 2.5 - 3.5 oz./ 75-100 grams
dye information: all the llama is undyed. Most of the yarns have some of the Romney dyed with weak acid dyes "in the fleece" and then blended with undyed Romney and undyed llama prior to spinning. This creates a rich, heathered yarn. A few of the variants have been overdyed.
batch number: LR4515
Chesapeake Fibershed: The three undyed variants qualifiy as pure Chesapeake Fibershed (local fibers, labor and dyes). Look for yellow tint behind color name and "CF" at end of the color name to identify qualifying yarns.  
batch numbers: BLW2611 through BL2622

    The Sheep and its wool

    Llama is a camelid fiber, actually more like hair than sheep wool which has crimp. Llamas’ natural colors are different than sheep and we love the ecru, brown and bittersweet brown in this yarn which are not dyed at all. The strong and drapey nature of this yarn lends itself to both crochet and weaving as well as knitting.
    farm sources: hand selected llama fleeces from "The Farm" (our friends from Endless Summer Harvest's other farm where they raised llamas) and Downey Ridge Farm in Luray, Virginia. Romney from Solitude and Weather Lea in Loudoun County, Virginia.
