Barstow
Barstow is a worsted spun, fingering weight yarn made with Dorset wool grown in NY & spun in PA. Barstow is great for socks if you don't mind a gentle wash & air drying but it isn’t just for socks! Bartsow also makes gorgeous hard wearing garments. The 4 ply structure gives the yarn plenty of strength, especially when worked densely. The wool has not been superwashed which will allow lots of breathability, this yarn fulfills a dream of mine to make a classic all wool sock yarn. Barstow is named for Hudson River School painter & avid hiker Susie Barstow who I like to think would appreciate a sturdy wool sock yarn.
The set of 12 mini skeins includes 106yd/97m ~1oz skeins of the 12 colors pictured. Think of it like a box of crayons for colorwork, toes & heels or happy stripes whatever strikes your fancy.
