Free
Note: We currently have a very limited quantity of Elora and Norwood yarns left from our 2024 batch. If you would like to be notified when we open pre-orders for the 2025 batch please join our mailing list for all updates.
Elora is a completely Canadian locally-sourced yarn. The Norbouillet (Rambouillet-cross) fleeces are purchased from Pine Hollow Farm in Ontario and sent to Wellington Fibres (a small mill) for spinning, before coming to us to be dyed in our Montreal studio. You can read more about the story of this yarn on our blog.
This fingering-weight wool is very fine, and is just as soft as our imported Merino. Our mini-skeins come in sets of 5 carefully chosen hand-dyed colours, perfect for colourwork or gradient patterns.
Are you looking for a contrast colour to pair with your Elora set? You can find our full-sized 100g skeins of Elora here, perfect for pairing with these mini-skein sets for larger projects.
