Targhee Top
A large North American breed developed in the early 1930's. Our top is a fine wool, grown in Montana, with a micron count of about 22, an average staple length of 4 inches and a soft bouncy crimp. I have placed the yarn against my neck and find it smooth and snuggly. Wearables made from this targhee are very comfortable and soft next to your skin. Using the Soft Spinning Technique, our top's hand ranks with some of the softest wool I have spun. I think you will love this Made in the USA fiber too.
4oz for $9.75

All of our colorways are dyed in small dyepots containing only 8 -10 ounces of fiber each. We try to stay ahead but guessing which colorway is going to be most popular each week is difficult. We, therefore, usually dye to order which means your hand dyed fiber may take a week or two to get out to you. Also we really do not have dyelot numbers. It is best to order the amount you need to get the best matches.
