light DK, 3.5 oz, 325 yards
Meet Equinox, the 2-tone barberpole cousin to Solstice. These light, lovely and next-to-skin soft yarns pair well together as they are the same weight, spin and both are made from 90% Romney cross and 10% mohair. With a soft halo and it's bold colorways, Equinox makes great pullovers, wooly hats, handwarmers and voluminous colorwork shawls. Additional colors of Equinox will be added in February!
This beautiful fiber comes from the well cared-for sheep at Four Blessings Farm in Leverett MA. Brad Archer has been breeding his Romney cross sheep for years with a keen eye on developing long, soft, strong lustrous fiber for his weaving projects. Now that Brad is retired from weaving, this amazing resource was not being utilized and I was able to offer him a fair price for the accumulation of fiber he'd been storing. Bloom has purchased this "clip" for 4 years in a row, and plans to do so again this spring!
