The sheep are raised out on pasture and fed on good grasses and forbes as nature intended. This keeps the grease content light, the fleece fine and the wool strong, smooth and lustrous. After hand shearing, the wool is spun to yearn at Green Mountain Spinnery in Putney, VT utilizing their greenspun process of vegetable based soaps and spinning oils. The yarn is again hand washed and hand dyed at River Valley Farm using color-fase, no bleed dyes that take up into the yarn completely leaving no residue, in brilliant complementary colors that reflect our natural world. |
