Sprout Info

Sprout was designed by us with durability and flexibility in mind, with the unrivaled quality of an All-American made yarn.

Purposely using American wool for the known ethical sheep growth & wool processing, we keep the wool state-side for the entire process.

The blend, size, and twist are specific to Sprout...

• 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.
• A little nylon is added just to aid the durability (making it usable as a Sock yarn). With only 10% nylon, you cannot feel it, leaving the yarn to seem like a 100% wool.
• The wool is super-washed (or made washable) so you can machine wash it for easier care.
• Combed for full worsted spinning (makes it more durable, much less "pokey" than others, and a thicker feel). Fully Worsted Spun yarns are desirable and less popular.
• An over-twist on the plying makes splitting difficult and makes the yarn stronger.

Today, Sprout is manufactured exclusively for The Fiber Seed. This has been a staple yarn for more than a decade now, we are not changing anytime soon. Over the years we have had a few additional bases, but this is the one that gave us our reputation.
