"Knit sheep not plastic". This is a sticker design from Mitchell Wool and is one of their core principals. Sherry and Luke started Mitchell Wool because Sherry wanted to know the name of the sheep that created the wool she was knitting with. In her words "it got out of hand quickly."

Sherry read "Vanishing Fleece" by Clara Parks, which sparked her mission to bring back American Fiber production.  After starting Mitchell Wool and responsibly farming their Michigan farm, Sherry and Luke were approached by local farmers to purchase their wool. Wholesale collectives don't pay nearly enough to cover the cost of shearing let alone the cost of ethically raising the sheep. Thus "American Fiber" by Mitchell Wool was born!

You must try out this 18.2 micron American Rambouillet. Each skein is 150 yards of 2 ply woolen spun dk. American Fiber DK is hand dyed with sustainably sourced plants, insects, and food waste. We recommend alternating skeins due to the nature of the hand dyed yarn.
