Sugar Springs Farm - Wool DK

Sugar Springs Farm Wool is 100% wool yarn from the CVM/Leicester Longwool flock at Sugar Springs Farm in Verona, Wisconsin. This yarn uses the same prized, rare heritage breeds that produce the fiber in her beloved Wool/Alpaca blend yarn. Wisconsin has deep roots in agricultural heritage, and small farms like Sugar Springs represent a living connection to that tradition, raising breeds that shaped the wool industry for centuries. CVM and Leicester Longwool are both conservation priority breeds, meaning every skein you purchase for your projects support biodiversity and the future of small-flock farming in the upper Midwest.

The 100% wool delivers everything these historic breeds are known for: a lustrous, well-defined fleece with just enough structure to hold beautiful stitch definition, and a soft hand that improves with wear and washing. DK weight makes it incredibly versatile, natural for sweaters, hats, mittens, and other everyday wardrobe pieces that get better with every season. Available in Opal and Ruby Pearls, two colorways that honor the natural beauty of the flock, including Opal, named for one of shepherd Elizabeth's very first ewe lambs.
