Mitchell Wool Co. American Fiber DK
Located in Dryden, Michigan, Mitchell Wool Co. is sourcing, spinning & dyeing each skein of yarn locally. The sheep are raised on the family farm, the yarn is spun at a local mill & the yarn is then dyed back at the farm. Each skein of yarn is lovingly produced by the Mitchell family.
Plump, light & velvety soft, American Fiber DK is spun with 100% Rambouillet wool. The 18-micron yarn has the bounce & spring characteristic of Rambouillet with incredible bloom. The round, woolen-spun strand delivers crisp stitch definition for cables & textured stitches that give knits gorgeous dimension.
The yarn is dyed entirely with natural plant fibers to produce a soft, natural color palette. It is wonderful for lightweight, yet warm knit accessories & garments.

Artisan hand-dyed yarns have natural color variations from skein to skein. Our team will do their best to choose the best matching skeins for your order. Here are some tips to get the best results when knitting with hand-dyed yarns:
- Purchase enough yarn for your entire project
- Alternate skeins by knitting two rows from one skein, then two rows from another skein. This will help to blend color differences.
Please contact our customer service team with any questions or concerns about working with hand-dyed yarns.
