Description
Wild Rye Small Batch DK is a yarn from a small flock of hard working, regeneratively-raised, well-loved sheep in Deer Lodge, Montana. These sheep are raised just a few miles down the road from Dublin Bay. Their fleece is sent to The Wool Mill in Belgrade, Montana and spun into soft, extremely clean yarn. It is gorgeous!, and this is the only place you’ll find it! Take a leap of faith and give it a try. You will not be disappointed! We are thrilled to offer this exclusive yarn in our shop, lovingly raised by Maggie and her family. If you are looking for entirely local, it does not get any more local than this! This yarn also makes an excellent gift or souvenir of your trip to Montana. Once it is gone, it is gone until the next year! Experimenting with Wild Rye’s fibers has been a two-year process. For this year’s batch, we’ll be increasing our partnership with them as we begin dyeing a new solstice yarn with their fiber. We can’t wait! More details to follow!
