Note: We currently have a limited quantity of Norwood and Elora yarns left from our 2024 batch. If you would like to be notified when we open pre-orders for the 2025 batch please join our mailing list for all updates.
This wool is very fine, and is just as soft as our imported Merino. The 3-ply yarn knits up to DK weight, and can be substituted for Minuet in most patterns.
splitNorwood is a completely Canadian locally-sourced yarn. The Norbouillet (Rambouillet-cross) fleeces are purchased from Pine Hollow Farm in Ontario and sent to Wellington Fibres (a small mill) for spinning, before coming to us to be dyed in our Montreal studio.
