Merino 400 Lace by Lang
A favorite from Lang, a beautifully spun 2-ply lace weight super fine merino. This yarn is 100% wool, no synthetic binder necessary. It has more elasticity than the wool/silk blends, so it's easy to knit. So soft, and blocks out beautifully. Great for lace projects of every level of difficulty, and anywhere a fine yarn is needed. Easily knits double or triple stranded (try mixing colors!).

Ramsdale
A beautiful new sheep breed yarn from Wendy Classics. Ramsdale is born, bred and made in Yorkshire, England. It is 100% wool using a
blend of Masham fleece from the Yorkshire dales. Masham sheep's wool is so soft and warm, it rivals many merinos. With exceptionally long staple length of up to 10 inches, it has a subtle luster. The wool is then dyed, spun
and balled all in Yorkshire!! It has a wonderful hand, knits
beautifully and comes in 10 gorgeous heathery colors. Use with any pattern calling for a DK weight wool, 5 1/2 stitches per inch.

Poems
by Wisdom Yarns
Poems is a 100% wool roving yarn featuring artistic colors which shade easily from one color to the next. Perfect for sweaters, scarves, hats, and more --- and it felts like a dream!
This single ply yarn has a bit more twist to it than other roving yarns, for a little more stability and a more even thickness over the yardage. When knit it produces a slight halo, which is just enough to blend the beautiful color combinations softly together. A real value in a variegated wool worsted weight.

Because it has a knitted construction, ZERO is not prone to pilling and
is distinctive for its lightness and airiness.

Merino 130 Compact
A very, very different merino yarn! This is super-fine merino spun in an extra tight twist, with an anti-felting finish, and dyed in all those beautiful Lang colors. This is a sport weight yarn that displays unsurpassed stitch definition. And so soft next to the skin. Merino 130 Compact originally sold for $14.00 per ball.
We suspect that this yarn did not sell well in the US because of the smaller needle size required. But if you want an heirloom project, this yarn is perfect. We have limited quantities of certain colors, so order soon.
- 100% merino wool
- 50g ball = about 142 yd (130 m)
- 23 st to 4" on US 4-5 needles
- Machine or hand wash warm, lay flat to dry, or dry clean (although personally I would hand wash). Do not use fabric softener.
The style photos below are available in current Fatto a Mano magazines, or as single purchase. If you need help locating one or have questions, please email laurel@dyedandgone.com .

Look what we found in our warehouse! Elements Natural Rustic Lambswool Yarn by Louet
This completely natural lambswool is put up in 100g skeins. I describe it as "rustic" because it has the hand of natural, minimally processed wool. This is a 2-ply yarn, which means that these plies are much heavier than a yarn spun with 4, 6, or 8 plies, and this gives the yarn real substance. It is not super soft--it is not merino or superwash. This yarn is sturdy and robust--it feels like real wool. Not necessarily a next-to-the-skin yarn, but it is certainly soft enough for any cardigan or outerwear, or very appropriate for home decor, blankets or pillows. Not dyed, this yarn is the natural color of the lambs.
This yarn has been "lost" in our warehouse until we found it today, probably since we moved from Maryland. Currently, pure lambswool is rarely available, and the ones that are out there have been heavily processed to compete with merinos & such. Prices range from $18-40 per 100g skein depending on the source, so we know that all of you who appreciate this sort of honest, authentic lambswool yarn will be very happy with our price.
100g each skein = 170 yd per skein
100% Natural Lambswool

This is a yarn especially good for men's knitwear--men love it.
