We specialize in Solano County grown wool, but there is one other favorite here.
Solano Color Sport-weight Yarn - Naturally dyed
Solano Color Sport-weight Yarn - Naturally dyed
This is our exclusive sport weight Timm Ranch yarn in 2-ounce skeins (TR-22), naturally dyed with plants from the farm. Yarn is 2-ply. The fiber from this “ranch blend” of Rambouillet - Targhee - Polypay measured 20.4 microns.
Each 2-ounce skein is labeled 186 yards because that is the measurement from the mill based on yards/pound. After dyeing I’m winding about 160 yards from each.
Current selections (in order as in the first photo):
Yellow - dahlia flowers
Blue-green - dark purple hollyhock flowers
Orange shades - Cosmos flowers
Red shades - madder root
Photos show that each skein may have a mix of shades. Mix and match colors for a unique project using this very soft yarn.

Exclusive! Locally grown wool yarn from the Timm Ranch in Solano County, California. Our 2021 Timm Ranch yarn is a beautiful creamy white 2-ply sport weight yarn. I selected 230 pounds of the finest wool on the Timm’s shearing day. I skirted fleeces and shipped the wool to Mountain Meadow Wool in Wyoming where it was scoured, carded, and spun. There is a minor amount of vegetable matter in the yarn because Mountain Meadow does not use any chemical process to remove it.
