Montadale is a medium wool, not super soft but not super crisp either. Once washed, the fabric is reasonably soft, but also sturdy and should wear well. The sheep are a cross of Cheviot and Colombia sheep. They are a mixed-use breed, bred for both wool and meat. This base is a 2 ply with a bit of variety in weight giving it a slightly rustic feel. As with all our OBSS yarns, this base will only be available for a short time and cannot be reproduced.

Our skeins are hand-dyed using acid dyes and a semi solid "kettledye" process that produces bold and expressive colors. We use a low chemical process to scour and spin the wool, this means you may occasionally find small bits of vegetable matter in our yarn. Additionally, there may be some color bleed in the yarns first wash. If you plan to do color-work with your yarn, we recommend washing it beforehand.
