From the guides
- GuideBrown Sheep: which one is which?Lamb's Pride Worsted and Bulky, Nature Spun, Prairie Spun DK, Harborside Aran, Top of the Lamb and Cotton Fleece — how the Brown Sheep lines we stock differ in fiber, ply, weight and the way they felt, which ones have the mohair, which is the cable yarn and which is the colorwork yarn, and what each is best for.
- GuideAran vs worsted, and what "8 ply" meansThe difference between aran and worsted weight yarn, how the British and Australian ply names (4 ply, 8 ply, 10 ply) line up with American weights, and which of our yarns a pattern written in either language wants.
- GuideYarn brands we stock, and what each is known forThe 24 yarn and needle brands on our shelves, grouped by what they do best — hand-dyed merino, self-striping and gradient yarns, American and British wool, alpaca, luxury fibers, summer cottons and linens, needles — with the line to start with from each.
More from Brown Sheep
Brown Sheep Company has spun yarn in Mitchell, Nebraska since 1980, and Lamb's Pride Worsted is the reason most knitters know the name: 85% wool and 15% mohair, a slight halo, and the fastest, most even felt of any yarn we stock. It is the standard for felted bags and slippers, and unfelted it makes warm, hard-wearing hats and mittens. Lamb's Pride Bulky is the same blend at twice the gauge.
The rest of the range is plain American wool at honest prices. Nature Spun is a smooth 100% wool worsted in a colour card of more than sixty shades, made for colourwork; Prairie Spun DK is its lighter sibling. Cotton Fleece puts 20% merino into a cotton DK so ribbing springs back — the summer sweater yarn that behaves like wool. Every Brown Sheep line comes to us in full colour, and we match dye lots on all of them.
