Mitchell Wool Co. Farm Friends DK

Mitchell Wool Co. Farm Friends DK is true sheep-to-skein American wool, grown and processed entirely at their Dryden, Michigan farm. This gorgeous heathered yarn showcases Finn, Romney, and Blue-Faced Leicester (BFL) wool, creating that coveted heather finish that looks effortlessly elegant.

The 18.2 micron ultrafine Rambouillet in this yarn makes Farm Friends DK surprisingly soft against the skin, perfect for scarves, hats, and sweaters. The 2-ply woolen spinning creates excellent stitch definition with just enough tooth to hold textured patterns beautifully while remaining comfortable for next-to-skin wear.

Every step of this yarn's journey happens with care, from the natural mordant to hold in saturated colors, to the plant-based soap used to remove spinning oils. Farm Friends DK is then hand-dyed using sustainably harvested plants, insects, and food waste. The result is 100% U.S. grown, milled, and dyed wool you can feel ethically good about.

Farm Friends knits up with a satisfying bounce and depth, creating finished pieces with character and longevity that honor both the sheep and the craft.
