Cosmos Yarn

“Since your visit, Ms. 140 has decided that she is definitely a people sheep, following us around a bit.” I smiled at this note from the farmer, accompanying some logistics as we made arrangements for me to purchase Cosmos (eartag 140) and her half-sister Cardamom in November 2019. Since arriving here, Cosmos has solidified her “people sheep” tendency. Her kind and gentle demeanor radiates calm over the whole flock.

This batch of yarn came back from the mill with a slubby, uneven texture - variably spun with thick and thin singles. You can cut the largest slubs out as you knit along - making more ends - or include them and embrace the nubbly fabric. This yarn would also be well-suited to patterns that call for felting. You may also find an occasional bit of hay in the yarn.

Also note, if you have Cosmo yarn from the past, please note the colors of the skeins will be slightly different as Cosmos's fleece changes somewhat each year.
