Our new all-American Merino and Rambouillet DK yarn is proudly crafted from start to finish in the United States, beginning its journey on ranches across the American West. These ranchers, deeply rooted in generations of sustainable practices, raise Merino and Rambouillet sheep with care and commitment. As part of the Shaniko Wool Company, each ranch adheres to the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) criteria established by Textile Exchange, a global non-profit dedicated to promoting environmentally and socially sustainable fibers and processes. The RWS ensures the welfare of the sheep, responsible land management, and fair treatment of workers, with annual audits to maintain compliance. Furthermore, the scouring facility and mill that process the wool into yarn are working towards obtaining RWS audits, ensuring complete traceability from ranch to skein.

This yarn not only aligns with your values but also offers a delightful tactile experience. It features a micron count of 21, providing a superbly soft and bouncy texture that's perfect for next-to-skin wear. Hand-dyed in a warm palette of 24 lightly tonal colors, plus natural Earth Tones, this yarn boasts excellent stitch definition, making it a dream to work with for all your crafting projects.
