While we have beautiful yarn from all over the world, the My Sister Knits staff treasures yarn that is made in the United States.

Our yarn brands that are spun and dyed from the fiber of animals in the US are close to our hearts. We understand the importance of supporting our American fiber people, whether it’s a sheep farmer in Wyoming, a mill in Vermont, or a dye house in Pennsylvania. Some of our yarn comes from a sheep farmer who also dyes her own yarn!

We love being able to pinpoint exactly where our US yarns come from! It makes us feel closer to it, as if we could reach out and pet the animals that grew the fiber for us!

Green Mountain Spinnery’s Mountain Mohair has an abundance of fibers in it! There is 40% fine wool from Targee that comes from herds along the Front Range; 30% medium wool that comes from Cheviot, Friesian, Romney, Corriedale, Montadale, Dorset/Tunis, and Rambouillet herds in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts; and 30% mohair from herds of Angora Goats from Vermont to Texas.

Most of Quince & Co’s yarn is made entirely in the US, check the label to be sure!

Peace Fleece is 75% Rambouillet which is from Native American shepherds on South Dakota’s Cheyenne River Reservation. The other 25% is mohair from herds in Texas.

The Farmer’s Daughter’s Pishkun, Soka’pii, and Recollect are created from Rambiillet sheep raised in Montana and Wyoming.

Forge and Weld, from Hudson + West are made of 70% Merino wool from sheep in New Mexico and Colorado, and 30% Corriedale from sheep who reside in upstate New York. They are spun in New York and dyed in Philadelphia.

Brooklyn Tweed’s yarns also are created in the US. Arbor uses wool from Targhee sheep from Montana and South Dakota, and is spun and dyed in Maine and Pennsylvania. Shelter and Loft come from Targhee-Columbia sheep from Wyoming, is spun in New Hampshire and dyed in Pennsylvania. Brooklyn Tweed was one of the first companies to create yarn entirely from the US.

This is not a complete list of our yarn from the US but it’s a place for you to start. We encourage you to find yarn from Wing and a Prayer Farm in Vermont and Mountain Meadow in Wyoming upstairs!

Knitting Conversations

Tuesday, November 30th is our next Knitting Conversations, from 6:30 to 7:30. The topic is lace. What exactly is lace? Do you have to use a lace-weight yarn? How do you read a chart? How do you not lose your place? How do you make the stitches? Is it as hard as it looks? All of these questions and more will be answered! You’ll be provided with the names of some projects appropriate for first-time lace knitters and you’ll go away with confidence, eager to start your first project! Sign up here or call the shop at 970.407.1461.

Happy Knitting,
