Not meant to have the same smooth and refined look as the mass-produced bases that are so common among big brands but instead is meant to celebrate the true character behind the wool-hemp blend – rustically spun and ready to be knit into an heirloom piece. The yarn is 70% Corriedale, a breed originally developed from cross-breeding the fine wool of Merino sheep with the long wool of Lincoln sheep and 30% SHEMP hemp fiber – resulting in a yarn that is soft to the touch, yet durable and strong. The longer staple length of the wool-hemp blend means that it is less prone to pilling over time.
