The joy of shepherds harvest!
We are always amazed of the amount of yarn you get from one single Gotland fleece. Ervalla Elegant Elsa produced the lamb wool for the 8 skeins of 3-ply, 250 yards fingering weight yarn in the photo. Given that each fleece is somewhere between 2.5-3 lb the losses in the spinning process aren’t too big. Each skein of lambwool feels like a treasure, there will obviously only be one lamb fleece from each sheep and they’re sheared at 6-8 months.
One common question we get from customers is - “how much yarn do I need for my knitting project?”. Well, it depends on yarn weight, skein length, and strand thickness (#1-3ply).We have Gotland yarns available in a wide variety of weights to fit every need. Gotland silver shine included!
