Meduseld is delighted to release a new yarn.  This is a two-ply worsted weight yarn of our Friesian and Dorset Down sheep.

We have profiled both of these breeds in a past blog article.  The Dorset Downs, in particular, are known and bred for their very soft wool – wool soft enough to be used in apparel against the skin.  These skeins won’t disappoint, as they have all the characteristic softness of these breeds.  This yarn is springy, and feels like it had cotton blended with it.

We have a limited supply of these skeins.  We are selling these 3.2-3.3 oz skeins very affordably for only $13.50 each.  The color is natural white, and they would be excellent for dying. 

We will be holding a give-away of one approximately 3 oz. skein on May 15, 2013 through our Ravelry group, Meduseld.   Post on the forum’s give-away thread that you would like to enter the give-away, and let us know what you’d like to do with the yarn if you win it.  Second runner-up will receive a 1 3/4 oz skein of Lana Gatto’s Alpaca in a dark natural grey.   We will pick both winners at random on May 15.
