Made in small batches from flock to skein! We process this yarn from fresh off the sheep to through spinning. A super springy heathered tweed yarn that is deliciously soft and wonderful for garments and next to the skin accessories. It has a rustic but soft appeal. And we love that it is from small farms.

Impact
In 2016, Ewetopia opened a Fiber Mill as a way start producing their own yarn bases using local fiber from their own flock of fine wool sheep and other flocks in Wisconsin to bring you a locally sustainable and ethical choice for your next project. Their yarns are all dyed with heavy metal-free professional dyes so your garments are good for you and the environment!
