Fluffy's wool is soft and squishy, which makes it very warm. The yarn was spun into 164 metres (180 yards) of Worsted weight, and is a pleasure to work with.
Fluffy is a cross between a Merino mom and a Romney sire. This cross is often called Romeldale where the fine soft wool of the Merino is enhanced by the long locks of the bouncy Romney. Romeldale sheep are very personable and inquisitive. Fluffy is an endearing girl with social tendencies...she is happy to bounce over for chin scratches.
Fluffy's yarn makes beautiful sweaters, hats, and scarves. Fluffy would create a beautiful wrap or poncho, too.

Notes :
This wool was grown by a ewe named Fluffy in Alberta and processed at a family-run fibre mill also in Rosebud, Alberta. You can be sure that your yarn has been handled with love in all stages of its production.
Due to the slow method of transforming raw wool into yarn, each small batch is one of a kind and will reference the individual sheep who grew the fibre. Please ensure you purchase the right amount for your project as given the nature of small batch yarn, there may be variations in fleeces from year to year.
Enjoy using this Canadian farm raised yarn from Fluffy. We hope that the garment you create brings great joy and perhaps becomes an heirloom piece in your wardrobe.
Please understand that all attempts have been made to accurately photograph the colour of this yarn. Due to the range of individual settings on computers, there may be unavoidable colour variance.
