It's so new, they're pricing it as I type this!
We now carry all 4 yarn lines from Imperial Stock Ranch.
For over 150 years, this Shaniko, OR company has been raising sheep and cattle in the high desert. Their headquarters is a National Historic District and they are committed to sustainable farming practices and wildlife restoration.
The yarns come from Columbia sheep, and are custom milled with no harsh chemical or heat treatments. The wool stays soft, yet durable.
We carry the sock yarn, 2-ply worsted, Lopi, and pencil rovings.
The pencil roving is a great substitute for the unspun yarns used in Elizabeth Zimmermann's books. It can be knit with as is, used for thrums, felted, or even spun.
We have some great patterns from Imperial Stock, too.
Stop by and explore this bit of Oregon history.
And do check out their website for more information on the history of this unique company.
