Carefree Coyote wool comes from Sandy and Anthony Bauer's Targhee sheep
herd. Targhee sheep are known for their very fine wool (less than 23 microns)
which is high in lanolin, and never scratchy.
I took on the project of Carefree Coyote Wool when, after the birth of my daughter,
my mother surprised me with a sweater she knitted. She had been keeping the
knitting classes a secret, she says that she wanted to love me in a way that I
identified with. I could not believe my mall-loving mother now really enjoyed
knitting. Suddenly she wanted to MAKE Christmas and birthday presents for
everyone. She kept telling me how popular knitting was becoming, and taught
me how.
I wanted high-quality natural fibers, but couldn't find any near me. As I looked out
at my sheep I knew this was the year to start using our wool. It is natural yarn,
with a conscious. Why the name Carefree Coyote? We do not hunt, trap or allow
hunting or trapping of any predators on our land!
These sheep are cared for in a natural manner; raised on pasture that is never
treated with poisons, wholly grass-fed. Our wool is sheared off once a year, and
sent out to be processed into yarn and other wool products. It is processed into
yarn at a museum in Canada that uses a natural chemical-free washing process
which allows small amounts of lanolin to remain in the finished product. The
mill uses a turn-of-the-century Spinning Mule to make this premium spun yarn.
Our Lopi and Yarns are the natural white wool color, we do not use dyes,
following organic ideals from birth to skein, to give you a totally chemical free
product.
We currently have 4 oz skeins of Lopi and 4 oz skeins of 2 ply & 3 ply available.
