A Heap Of Sheep Yarn uses super soft ethically sourced merino wool yarn. By combining high quality fiber and a dynamic hand dyed yarn style, I can help elevate your project vision!
A classic colour way “Cognac” which is a rich bronze with golden tones yarn offered on the following bases:

- Airy 2 Ply Super Wash Merino Worsted Weight

- Superfine 17 micron 4 Ply Merino Worsted Weight

The skeins are all hand-dyed, by myself, using professional acid dyes and high-quality soft yarns. If you require multiple skeins of yarn, please contact me to arrange that I create them from the same batch.

Although dyed in small batches with the same process, different fibers and artistic mood create a unique finished yarn. Please look carefully at the pictures to be sure you choose the fiber and variation that best suits your project. There is no dye lot for a hand dyed yarn as each skein is unique as it is created! Each skein is truly one of a kind!

It is recommended that you alternate skeins during your knitting or crochet project, to blend out variances that occur within the yarns.

Super Wash Merino wool is known to be machine washable, but I still recommend hand washing and laying flat to dry to extend the life of the yarn and your project! I carefully rinse and wash the yarn after the dye process, but it is still possible a small amount of color may bleed out in the first wash.

I will gladly “cake” wind your yarn as a courtesy if you purchase from my shop, just please let me know if this is what you desire.

With single skein, made to order yarn, the average shipping time is 5 to 7 business days after you place your order. Larger orders will take longer to process and ship, please message me prior to ordering to discuss the processing time.
