If a ton of wool seems like a lot, that's because it is. One ton is the minimum amount of raw wool fleece that Australian wool scourers will accept. Any less than that, you'll have to send it to China.

Enterprising Australian hand-dyer Kylie Gusset was determined to make a purely local yarn, so she launched her Ton of Wool project.

But I haven't told you the best part about Ton of Wool: Kylie sources her fibers from the very farm in Tasmania where the Cormo breed originated.

Shall we swatch?

Coming Up

In the Forums: Taking Gauge with Lace
When the yarn label gives you gauge and recommended needle size in stockinette, but you want to knit lace, is there a way to tell what needle size would be best?

We'll talk again in two weeks!
