100% Sheep Wool, Artisanal, Trendy Blends, Sock Wool

Why Blends? Blended fibers create a yarn, which combines the properties of all of its components. There are two major reasons for blending wool with other fibers: to create a yarn with properties not available from a single fiber, and make it go further. Sometimes, a blend is made for both reasons. To make great and beautiful blends is an art in our opinion.
