Each box will contain undyed and dyed yarn from a single breed on a single farm. It will also include information about the breed, the farm, and some suggestions on what it could be used for. This will primarily be a sheep’s wool subscription,… Read More »British Yarn Expedition

Luckily on Sunday the weather was much nicer so I think everyone had an even better time. As it… Read More »Post Wonderwool Shop Update
