Wool Singles from Maritime Fibers: Is this what I've been waiting for my whole weaving life?


Teal 

Just look at that luscious and rich teal!

 

Maritime Family Fiber - Sport Single Ply 100% wool  yarn singles

100% pure wool locally sourced from small flocks and farms, Sport is a single-ply, generous 4 ounces (113 grams) and 430 yards (393 meters), giving you plenty of yardage for lightweight lace or your colorwork masterpieces.

 

I have been on the hunt for wool yarn in singles to use as the pattern weft of the next coverlet I want to weave.  Wool Singles will give it that old-timey look like this:

Wool singles (red yarn) used as weft in an antique coverlet.
 

The singles puff up and hold air to make the coverlet even warmer.  

Although I can spin the singles myself, I don't want this to be a 20-year project.  I am getting older!

At long last, I think I found good source for wool singles!  And they are dyed beautiful colors, too!  Again, I could dye it myself, but this saves me time.

 

Here are some other colors I am entertaining:

Dark Green - Single Wool Yarn

Blue Heather - Single Wool Yarn 

Just my luck!  There was a sale in February, and free shipping!  I put in my order!
