Product Details
My Uncle Art has lived most of the last 30 years on Unalaska island (chernofski harbor) with a band of sheep. The sheep have roamed wild there on the island for many, many years since the Historic Chernofski Sheep ranch has dwindled to just Uncle Art, his sheep, and the occasional visitor who can get there via boat or plane at the right time of year. He gathers some of the sheep typically once a year and shears them, as he has for decades. This wool yarn is 50% wool from his sheep (most of his band is Merino, but not verifiably pure bred I believe...kind of their own island breed now) and 50% Merino wool from another flock that uses the same small Alaskan wool mill that processes his wool. Extended communication with Uncle Art is almost impossible when he is on the island ranch. Local wool experts here in California have told me the yarn looks handspun but I don't think that is possible...although he has hand spun some in years past I don't see him spinning 30+ skeins and getting them off the island this winter. It arrived at my house in a vacuum sealed package with a note saying heavy fingering weight 50% Chernofski Harbor 50% Merino, but the yarn experts in my area said thick and thin light DK... too thick to be even heavy fingering weight. The yarn experts did verify good quality wool. Length: 175 Yds. Weight: 2.0-2.6 oz (varies randomly).
Other than being washed, I don't believe any other chemicals have been applied to the wool or yarn. Just 100% raw wool.
Flat rate shipping of $5 applies regardless of how many you buy. On this website, betterwalnuts.com , I also sell walnuts from My Uncle John's Orchard on the family farm where I live in Red Bluff, CA. Try some, they are the best you've ever tasted or your money back.
