Wool Information:
My merino wool is from South American sources unless otherwise marked, which means no museling issues.
Shaniko wool is from the Shankio wool company, which sources its wool from a group of herds in the USA that are chosen for their care of their flocks as well as the quality of the fleece they produce. You can learn more about them from my supplier, right here.Want to know my opinions on my different base? Check out this page with my thoughts on sock yarns!
