This 100% Organic Merino yarn is spun in Springvale, Maine and organically dyed at the JaggerSpun dye house in New England!
This yarn, officially a sport weight, can usually be used in patterns calling for fingering weight up to a DK as well. It feels great, comes in a great variety of colors, and as it comes in 50 gram hanks it's perfect for color work projects. Also great for felting.

Trendsetter was started by Barry Klein and his mother over 30 years ago. They not only source some of the most beautiful and unique yarns largely from Italy, they also bring us Cardiff Cashmere, spun in a small, family mill that only spins cashmere.
Prism, Mountain Colors, and Mrs Crosby are more examples of small, independent hand dyers we’re delighted to carry in the shop.
Addi needles and Brittany needles are more multi-generation stories that, in our opinion, bring the quality and value that is unsurpassed in the industry.
In the shop we have over a ton of yarn as well as a million stories. We're delighted to continue this tradition for fiber fans everywhere.
Thank you for your support.
Kris, Oz, and the whole Ball & Skein family.
