HOMEGROWN WISCONSIN YARN
You can now buy Lambs Quarters homegrown yarn online!
All lots of yarn at Lambs Quarters are limited edition so be sure to order enough for your project. The latest batch, Lots 2001A and 2001B is a 1-ply, somewhat like Lopi, in a Blackberry Ridge "bulky" which is closer to knitting worsted than a real bulky. It is available in cream or charcoal. Further information is on the label link below. Lot 2000 is a lovely Rambouillet cross 2-ply medium cream with definite luster spun at Blackberry Ridge Woolen Mill from the sheep of Gary Holtane of Weasel's Restaurant in Waupaca, a neighbor and friend of Lambs Quarters. Weasel's is the local source of great naturally raised lamb chops, lambburgers, and lamb kabobs.
Yarn available is all spun at Blackberry Ridge Woolen Mill in Mt. Horeb, WI, from Lambs Quarters Farm or Harvest Moon Farm of Weyauwega or the Holtane Farm of Waupaca.
