Exclusive! Locally grown wool yarn from the Timm Ranch in Solano County, California. The sheep are a “ranch blend” of Rambouillet - Targhee - Polypay and samples from a dozen fleeces this year measured an average of 23.3 microns. The fiber is super clean and free of VM. The 2025 Timm Ranch yarn is a beautiful creamy white 2-ply sport weight yarn.

On the Timm’s shearing day Farm Club friends and I sort and skirt fleeces. This spring I sent 280 pounds of wool to Mountain Meadow Mill in Wyoming for scouring, carding, and spinning and got the yarn back in July.

Yarn is available in skeins and a limited number of cones. Yarn was spun at approximately 1421 yds/lb. The wool was scoured before processing, but the coned yarn has not been washed after spinning. Washing allows the yarn to bloom. When you use coned yarn you need to allow for the changes that happen to the yarn after washing the finished project. The photos show coned yarn at 19 wpi (wraps/inch) before washing and 13 wpi after washing. Skeined yarn is not under tension and measures 16 wpi before washing and 13 wpi after. The skeined yarn for sale has been washed.

I sett this yarn at 8 or 10 epi for most weaving projects. Knitting friends say that #5 needles are about right.
