Cormo Worsted is a 3 ply, 100% Cormo wool sourced from 9 Mile Ranch in Kaycee, Wyoming, and it is spun in Buffalo, Wyoming. It is a Worsted weight yarn. All Sincere Sheep yarns are dyed using natural dyes.
This yarn is hand dyed in small batches, so each batch may be a little bit different, and we recommend buying all of the yarn you need for a project at one time. We also suggest alternating skeins when knitting projects.
Cormo Worsted has good elasticity and stitch definition. It has less drape when knit, so you will want to pair it with a project looking for a yarn with structure.
Some of the Cormo Worsted colorways use natural indigo in the dyeing process. Here's a note from Sincere Sheep about indigo.
