This is a 2 ply, DK weight 100% wool yarn 12 WPI (wraps per inch).

Two identical skeins of yarn are available:
Skein #1: 62 g - 158 m (2.19 oz - 173 yards)
Skein #2: 64 g - 160 m (2.27 oz - 175 yards)

The color is deep emerald green over gray heather.

The original fiber is from a sheep of Babydoll breed sourced locally from a farm in the Mauricie region in the province of Quebec, Canada. This wool is very spongy, quite fine for its strength (around 25 microns) and therefore rather soft. Its natural color was gray heather. Prior to spinning, I hand dyed this fiber with heavy metal-free dyes by The Greener Shade.
