This is a sport weight yarn made from Wool (Clun Forest), Alpaca and Suri Alpaca. There are 300 yards in each 100 gram hank.
The yarn comes from Get Bentz Farm in Northfield Minnesota. We love to carry 'local' yarns in our shop and we love this yarn.
They raise Icelandic and Icelandic cross sheep. They also have a woolen mill which is home to Badgerface Fiber. They source local fibers, paying a fair wage for their raw materials, and turn them into beautiful roving, yarn, and rug yarn.
The sheep are sheared in the spring and fall.
All the animals are raised using sustainable practices, ensuring that they are healthy and happy. Our sheep have access to both wooded areas and pastures. They lamb in the spring and the lambs stay with their mothers until they are naturally weaned.
