Dye Lot 09122025
This dyed to order yarn is such a bright and sunny yellow. The dye used is Osage orange wood chips which is a by product of a wood shop in Tennessee.
Osage Orange, (Maclura pomifera) is also known as bois d’arc or hedge apple is a woody shrub found in the southeast United States. It was commonly used as wood for bows among the Osage and Comanche peoples in that area. (I have yet to find its name in either one of those languages, but would be very interested to know). The wood shavings from this tree create a strong colorfast dye. Its postulated that this shrub evolved to be dispersed by now extinct megafauna, but that theory is controversal (but fun to think about).
This yarn is 100% hand spun wool. Our “Fen” line is a singly ply worsted yarn in 200 yard skeins (182y). For the in stock products, the pictures are always of the same dye lot that you skeins will come from.
