Ridge Sport is our first yarn line completely produced here in the Driftless Region of Wisconsin! A lofty 3-ply sport weight yarn is produced from fine and medium fine wool breeds such as Targhee, Rambouillet, Merino, and Merino crosses. Ridge Sport is spun and dyed at Ewetopia Fiber Mill in La Farge, WI.
Hand dyed with professional, environmentally low-impact acid dyes, using kettle dyeing and over-dyeing techniques for subtle color changes throughout. Due to the hand dyeing process in small pots, please purchase enough for your project, and when using multiple skeins alternate skeins for seamless transitions between skeins, even within a dye lot there can be subtle changes from skein to skein.
**Pink Roses, Red Berry, Golden Straw, Moss, Fir Heather, Peacock and Indigo Heather are solid heather colors, they are dyed in the fleece and processed to be solid colors.
