The Ring Of Kerry

I get asked sometimes what our best selling colorway is, and I always answer "Ring OF Kerry". Hands down it has been a consistent seller, and I think it's due to the unique greens and blues and hits of gold that run through the batt.

Green is a color that most people either love or hate. Some people love it, and wear it as much as they can, others use it for accent colors, and others wear it only once a year for St. Patrick's Day.

I have always loved Ireland, my dad was part Irish, from way back in the bloodlines, and Ireland is still a place I want to visit or live in someday.

Ring of Kerry starts out with three colors, a deep sapphire/emerald green, a true Irish green and a lighter green, and I highlight with hand dyed firestar and gold glitz. I add in dyed black Corriedale for a bit of variance in the colorway.The colors other than black are hand dyed with acid reactive dyes.

The colors are dimensional, saturated and really beautiful when spun into yarn.  The wools are Corriedale, and they will felt which is great for crafters that felt.

This is Ring Of Kerry, in the dyed and drying stages:

This is the finished carded batt, with added firestar and glitz and  pictured with our hand made chestnut finished spindle.

This is a closeup of the fibers in the batt, isn't it gorgeous?
