Journey

North Bay Fiber Journey   
(100% American Romney Wool; Approx 175 yd / 159 m per 100 g)  

DESCRIPTION:
Romney sheep are a long-wool, medieval breed with a strong and lustrous fleece. The long staple length combined with the natural crimp help to create a sturdy yarn that softens with wear but stands the test of time.

Undyed it's a stunning heathered grey with a beautiful sheen. Once dyed, the heathered canvas creates deep saturated colors. Journey knits up beautifully in a single color, showcasing the gorgeous fabric. Colorwork is equally pleasing for this semi-worsted spun yarn. Either way, this magnificent yarn will create cherished garments and accessories made to last.

CARE:
• Journey blooms and softens after a soak. Hand wash in lukewarm water and dry flat.

NOTE:
• The yarn is spun at a Aran weight but when knit up and blocked, this yarn blooms to a gauge that is comparable to a heavy Worsted / Aran weight yarn.
• In an effort to not damage or weaken the wool it is not harshly scoured, therefore a small amount of vegetable matter (VM) might be present in the yarn.
