Ecotone is the transition between two biological communities, which can be either a wide swath of land or narrow. In this case, I began with osage orange and then layered the indigo on top to create a soft transition between yellow and green. It also happens to be the school colors the college I went to for my undergraduate degree- the now defunct Green Mountain College.

All the yarns in this product line are hand spun and hand dyed with natural materials here at the farm. The natural dyes used are chosen for their color longevity and color fastness. Please note there may be some slight bleeding when washed, especially with the blue tones, but will not affect the final color. The wool is a blend of our wool from the farm (Romney, Perendale, Coopworth) and New England Cheviot. There are two options for yarn thickness (yarn weight):

Worsted weight 2-ply: 150 yards US 7 (EU4.5 ) needles Hook US J EU 5.5

Bulky single ply: 150 yards US 9 (EU 5.5mm) needles Hook US L EU 7

Natural dyes used: Indigo and Osage orange
