DK weight, 200 yards
 
Our squishy, soft Babe is a 2-strand single ply DK; the 2 strands are gently twisted together to create the illusion of a single ply but with greater strength.
 
Babe is so beautiful in natural creamy white...our 4th production round is fresh back from the mill and is ever so soft.  Babe has been dyed naturally with plants, minerals and bugs, or dyed with our GOTS-certified acid (vinegar) dyes.  The new Garden Party colorway was specially hand dyed with flowers from the Bloom Homestead garden.....marigold, pansies, japanese indigo and a sprinkle of the exotic beetle bug cochineal for a pop of pink.
 
For Babe, we collect lamb's wool and other soft fleeces from Leyden Glen, a beautiful family farm in the northern hills of the Western MA Fibershed.  The farm's mission is to produce delicious high-quality lamb....an endeavor that is more than a full-time job.  We were happy to be invited to shearing day where we could select fleeces that would make soft yarn, and also collected courser fleeces to use in other products such as our Wool Sponges and Wooly-Fill.   Babe is a warm, bouncy yarn from prancing Romney-cross lambs that becomes even softer once you knit with it!
