Icelandic Yarns

Here you will find a list of all of the yarns that we currently have available.  Right now we have a couple of different weights of yarn in a variety of natural colors.  We will be doing our own dying over the winter with organic dyes and we will offer these colored skeins as soon as we have them available.  Please contact us with any questions or special requests.

The Icelandic sheep produces a premium fleece. The fleece is dual coated, with a fine, soft undercoat called thel and a longer, coarser outer coat called tog. Icelandic fleeces are open and low in lanolin. The weight loss when washed is significantly less than many other breeds. To read more about their fiber, click here.

HAND DYED YARNS AVAILABLE.  I WILL BE ADDING THESE TO THE WEBSITE SOON.
