Created especially for the Thunder Bay Medieval Faire (Oct. 10-11), this collection features four complementary colours: Terracotta, Teal, Oatmeal, and Mustard. With a mix of warm, muted tones and deeper, richer shades, these colours work beautifully together or on their own, offering plenty of possibilities for colourwork and textured projects.
For this collection, we've created a special version of our standard Farmhouse Yarn, with a very high twist for cable work, Fair Isle, and other projects that benefit from excellent stitch definition.
Handcrafted from Farm to Skein Wool is an environmentally friendly, renewable fiber that has provided warmth and durability for generations. To preserve its integrity and keep the footprint small, we handle every step of the process ourselves, from raw fleece to finished yarn, washing, dyeing, carding, and spinning each skein in our on-site wool mill just outside of Thunder Bay. As a semi-worsted yarn, the fibers retain loft, giving your finished projects warmth without excess weight. We never use harsh chemicals or bleaching agents, so you get a fiber that retains all of its beneficial qualities.
Standard Product Details • Semi-worsted yarn • Weight: ~3.5 oz per skein • Source: All wool is from Borderlands Farm unless otherwise noted. • Colour: Procion dyes. Please read about hand-dying below. • Care: Hand wash in cold water with wool wash, lay flat to dry. Spot cleaning will help prolong the life of your knitwear.
Tip: Always swatch! Yarn from small mills like ours is more variable than commercial yarn.

DISCLAIMER
We do our best to represent colours accurately, however not all screens are calibrated the same and colour may appear differently in person.
Small scale on-farm processing like ours means that there will be a few joins/knots, a small amount of vegetable matter (hay or straw bits) and more noticeable variation in the yarn. While Procion dyes are colorfast, some dye colours have a rinse-off period. The weight of wool varies based on the humidity in the air, so all weights are approximations.
