Last week, we had a visit from Elaine of Shenandoe Farm. She came with stories of a successful year and with a\u00a0bag of beautiful yarn, made of fiber grown right here in Orange County, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

We’ve stocked Shenandoe Farm<\/a> yarns before, though it’s been a while since we\u00a0sold the last remaining skein, so a new delivery was welcome. This new batch is composed of 80% mohair, 10% wool, and 10% llama, spun into a dk weight at Zeilinger Wool Co. in Michigan, a family business for over a century. The heathered color is a natural one, just the shade of the animals that grew the fleece to make it.<\/p>\n

From there, it was put in my lucky hands. After a bit more swatching, we decided this sturdy stuff would be well-suited to a pair of Churchmouse “Welted Fingerless Gloves,”<\/a> a go-to pattern here at the shop. I’m busy stitching up a pair as a sample for the shop.<\/p>\n
