Gotland Lamb Yarn
Our Gotland lamb yarn comes in all the shades of Gotland wool from pale silver to dark charcoal grey. The wool comes from our lamb flock and is from their first shearing. It’s perfect for vests, shawls, and that cute little cropped sweater you’ve always wanted to knit. 😉The mill blended just a tad of fine wool with the wool to help in processing. It’s spun to a comfortable DK weight, in a 3 ply. The 3 ply yarn produces excellent stitch definition for those venturing beyond a stockinet stitch. When knit Gotland has a lovely drape and shine. When you wash your knitted garment, Gotland wool develops a soft halo. The natural gray hue of Gotland wool gives this yarn a timeless and classic look, perfect for adding a touch of elegance to any outfit. It would also be wonderful on your loom as well woven up into a wrap, blanket, or even pillow cover.
Our Gotland yarn works perfectly for Ramona’s Vest pattern, a collaboration with New England knitwear designer Annie Lupton. She designed a sweet cropped cabled vest pattern named, “Ramona”. The vest features braided cables up the front. It’s perfect for fall and winter layering! Just three skeins will knit the size small vest. Visit Annie’s Ravelry page to purchase her pattern.
At our small farm, we take pride in our commitment to ethical and sustainable farming practices. Our Gotland sheep are raised with care and attention, ensuring that they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for. We believe in supporting small businesses and creating a sustainable future, which is why we’ve kept our operation small and personal.
