Mitchell Yarn Co. Sock
- In stock, ready to ship
- Backordered, shipping soon
We experienced this yarn at our recent market. We wanted to find a non-superwash yarn, but had HIGH standards for softness too. Being in the South where we wear our yarns next to our skin, softness is key. We just fell in love with
Mitchell Wool Co.'s yarns and story. This yarn has bounce! Literally! When we dropped a skein off the counter it actually bounced! You will get great stitch definition and a lot of joy from working with this bouncy, squishy yarn.
Mitchell Wool Co.'s took their super soft and squishy fine wool yarn and blended it with bamboo for the most dreamy and REAL sock yarn on the planet. Their flock’s micron average is well below the industry standard which means that theirs is especially soft. Most sock yarns blend with nylon for durability. Not this one.
Mitchell Yarn Co.'s is #UNAPOLOGETICYARNSNOBS and so they blend with tencel for a sustainable strength-giving yet still planet-healthy alternative.

Mitchell Wool Co.'s ultra-fine yarn from breed-specific Rambouillet sheep is like a cloud in your hands. Never super washed, the yarn in this collection has been naturally mordanted to lock in the color as much as possible. Spinning oils from the mill have been removed using plant-based laundry soap. Mitchell Wool then hand dyes it using sustainably harvested plants & natural materials.
Natural dyes are like snowflakes, each skein will vary and you should alternate skeins throughout your piece to achieve a subtle blend. Do not dry or store in direct sun. Hand wash & care for it like the heirloom it is. Natural dyes soften & fade like your favorite jeans, getting softer in hue with time. This is not a defect. It’s nature.
Mitchell Wool Co. is a Michigan family farm. The Mitchell's started this venture because they had 53 acres that they wanted to put to use to enrich our soil. They fell in love with their flock and now they work for them!
When you buy Mitchell Wool Co.'s yarn, you're supporting Michigan families. The sheep live on their farm, the neighbor grows the hay, the grain is local, their mill that spins it is 40 miles away. They dye with plants mostly grown on the farm
