I mentioned last week that I had turned some birthday cash into some yarn – it got here today!
Two more rare breed skeins complete with Shave ‘Em to Save ‘Em stickers, from Shaggy Bear Farms. They were a vendor at this month’s VK Live, and I found them via poking around in the vendor area, as I like to do. They have lots of great yarn, roving and locks from a variety of sheep breeds as well as other fiber producers (alpaca and goats).
The darker yarn is from Santa Cruz sheep, and the lighter is Romeldale (CMV). I was especially excited to find the Santa Cruz, as it is pretty hard to come by. Which I guess is not that surprsing, as it’s a rare breed of sheep. For the eco-conscious among you, I would also like to highlight how this seller ships their yarn:
And now I love them even a little bit more 🙂

Great packaging! The Santa Cruz looks really nice. I wasn’t sure how yarn from that breed would be like. Whatcha gonna make?

I thought you might like that 🙂 It does – unexpectedly soft! I don’t even know yet, but I’m on a roll with my SE2SE yarns, so I know something will present itself.

That is a fantastic way to ship! I have never heard of Santa Cruz sheep before.

It is very clever! I hadn’t heard of them either before I got involved in the SE2SE program. It has been a learning experience for sure!
