Sprout, our signature blend
We start with Domestic (USA) grown wool, from the wool pool, with a particular micron count that gives the yarn a soft handle, yet able to with stand common uses.
The wool is super-washed (or made washable) so you can machine wash it for easier care.
Combed for full worsted spinning to make it more durable, much less "pokey" fibers, with a thicker feel.
Nylon is added just to aid the durability, but with only 10% nylon (making it usable as a Sock yarn) it seems it's 100% wool.
An over-twist on the plying makes splitting difficult and makes the yarn stronger.
Sprout was designed by us with durability and flexibility in mind, with the unrivaled quality of an All-American made yarn, ready no matter where you take your project.
