Ellsworth
Ellsworth is a yarn I've dreamed of for a long time, made from Dorset wool grown in upstate NY it's a true lace weight single. The sturdy structure of the wool means lace patterns will block into crisp shape without going limp & will wear well for years without fear of pilling. Lace isn't the only thing thing this yarn would be great for, try holding 2 (or more!) strands together for a heavier weight & marled look or use it as weft in fine weaving. This woolen spun yarn is made of a melange of dyed in the wool colors so no need to worry about dyelot. The yarn is sold as shown on cones so no need to take the extra step of winding!
By special request we’ve added 1lb cones of the regular Ellsworth & a 2 ply version (only available on 1lb cones), we had these made to use for our woven textiles but Jill heard from so many weavers at Maryland Sheep & Wool it seemed unfair to keep them to ourselves. The single ply 1lb cone has ~3500yds of yarn & the 2 ply cone has just over 1700yds but these are sold by weight & not yardage.
Lace Weight
880yds / 805m ~4oz /113 g
100% Dorset wool
woolen spun
6.5-8sts/in on US#2-5 needles 2.75-3.75mm this is only a suggestion, the nature of this yarn means it can be worked at many different gauges
