I am a terrible knitter. I lack patience, so I wind up with a drawer full of half-finished projects. However, I am a bit of a closet yarn addict, which is probably one of the other reasons behind all those half-finished projects. I see a new yarn and I want to start something new. And let me tell you, the yarn from KnoxFarmFiber has me thinking that maybe I need to start something new…

This organic, cruelty-free yarn starts out as wool from the well-cared for sheep and their other woolly friends at Knox Farm State Park, and is then carded, hand-spun, and dyed yummy colors with environmentally-friendly dyes. I love that the skeins of yarn come labeled with a photo of the animal who “donated” her wool to the process.

From KnoxFarmFiber: …the sheep are well-fed, well- cared-for, have lots of pesticide-free pasture, are protected against predators, in good health with lots of friends…and then their wool is cleaned with eco-detergent, dried in the fresh air, carded the old fashioned way and dyed by hand with low-impact environmentally friendly dyes, spun by hand, and labeled with a photo of the sheep who donated it…
