Elora full skeins (100g)
Sold out
Note: Pre-orders for our 2024 batch of Elora are now closed. We may have a limited amount of this yarn available later this fall. Please join our mailing list for all updates.
New for 2024! We've added eight new colours this year, creating a whole rainbow of shades to choose from. We also have two shades of natural brown as well as the natural cream.
This fingering-weight wool is very fine, and is just as soft as our imported merino. These full-sized skeins are perfect for larger projects and for pairing with our Elora mini-skein sets.
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.
For more information on working with hand-dyed yarns, please see our FAQs page.
