Romney/Mohair

The long fibers of both Romney and mohair give this single surprising strength. Available in a heathered gray or a variegated natural white to natural gray with long runs of color. Some of each base dyed with natural dyes. The tightish spin gives weaving and knitting or crochet projects a little "homespun" texture. The color interest from the color shifts show best in light colors. Compatible with the North Country Cheviot/Romney yarn.
