USA HAND DYED: Each skein is individually kettle-dyed for those complex, textured tones that can only be achieved through careful hand dyeing. Our yarns are colorfast and created using the safest dyes available. We also make sure no water is wasted in the process. Thank you for supporting independent dye studios based in USA.

Residues of these chemicals can remain on the fiber, causing skin irritations. Our merino is processed safely without the use of toxic chemicals. Purity is perfect for babies, for those with skin sensitivities, and for anyone who values healthy life style choices.
