Handspun Navajo Churro Yarn (Cream)

Handspun on a Schacht Flatiron spinning wheel. Navajo Churro sheep are indigenous to the American Southwest, and are descendants of the first sheep brought by Spanish colonists in the 16th century. We get all our churro from a small farm in Pennsylvania that we have been buying fleeces and roving from for many years. Churro wool is exceptionally durable because of its long, coarse guard hairs. This yarn is perfect for textiles likes rugs that need extra strength. It is too course for against-the-skin wear. Each skein is approximately 4 oz. and 145 yards.
