Creating a custom-colored wool yarn is a meticulous journey that starts with inspiration and moves through yarn selection, dyeing, and final adjustments. This recent endeavor at Mountain Meadow Wool began with a patriotic theme, crafting a red, white, and blue colorway to celebrate Independence Day. Selecting the Green River yarn—a blend of bamboo and Mountain Merino® wool—ensured a soft, lightweight feel with muted contrasts. The dyeing process involved experimenting with various techniques to achieve the perfect hue and pattern. The outcome? Three unique options that embody the spirit of custom-colored wool, ready to enhance knitting projects with vibrant, handcrafted shades.
