Spun from 18-micron Rambouillet — one of the finest wool breeds in North America — this 2-ply, semi-worsted DK is the kind of yarn that makes you reach for it again and again. It's genuinely next-to-skin soft, and knits up with satisfying stitch definition. Whether you're creating a colorwork yoke or casting on a quick hat, Mitchell DK delivers. What makes it truly special: every skein is hand-dyed on the Mitchell Farm using sustainably sourced plants, insect shells, and food waste. No superwash. No synthetic dyes.
