Wool Yarn
We offer a single-ply, sport/DK weight yarn in two beautiful colors: Brown/Black (dark charcoal with a hint of brown) and Warm Grey (a natural oatmeal shade), available in 4-ounce skeins and variable-weight cones. This yarn is wonderful for both knitting and weaving, as the natural sturdiness of the Navajo-Churro wool is blended with fiber from our own guard llamas for added softness. It also felts beautifully for creating knit-and-felted items such as jackets, slippers, and bags.
We use environmentally safe methods to produce our products. All of our wool is washed using non-toxic, biodegradable detergent. At Green Mountain Spinnery the cleaned fleece is transformed into yarn, with only 100% vegetable oil used in the spinning process.
Yardage and Gauge:
Brown/Black = 256 yards / 4 oz. skein (1024 yards / pound), 14 wraps-per-inch
Warm Grey = 274 yards / 4 oz. skein (1096 yards / pound), 15 wraps-per-inch

Llama Yarn
In addition to our own wool yarn we are pleased to offer exquisite 100% llama yarn produced by our friends at Autumn Mountain Farm in Danby, Vermont. Don and Sue Mellen have spent decades breeding llamas. Their commitment to quality genetics and superior health is reflected in the silky texture of the yarn, which rivals the finest alpaca and other luxury fibers. The natural colors range from dark through medium shades of grey and brown.
Yardage and Gauge:
Llama fiber is denser than wool, with a lower yardage-to-weight ratio. This is a two-ply, sport/DK weight yarn at approximately 160 yards per 4-oz skein and 12-wraps-per-inch.
