This Border Leicester Wool is spun at Blue Mountain Farm & Fiber Mill with only Crown Hill Farm’s fibers from our mindfully-raised sheep — Sarah, Abraham, Lily, Ruth & Isaac.

I've dyed these skeins with colors from our natural dye gardens and foraged on Crown Hill Farm property. Charming Pink is made from a mix of Hopi Red Dye Amaranth & saved Avocado pits. Although we don’t grow avocado at Crown Hill, we enjoy eating them and the saved pits create this lovely pink-peach color. A local organic smoothie shop also donated their avocado pits for this color

This gentle pinky-peach made me think of one of my favorite narcissus flowers that grows on the farm called “Pink Charm”. It has a gentle undulation in color between a pinkish peach and more yellow peach. Due to the nature of natural dye, there may be slight variations in color throughout each skein.

Everything from Crown Hill Farm are Heirloom varieties and Heritage breeds, sustainably and mindfully grown with respect to land, plants, animals and soil.
