Developed in co-operation with Salish Fusion Knitwear, a West Coast company dedicated to preserving the exceptional quality and long tradition of authentic Coast Salish knitting in the modern world. It is a heavy Soft Spun yarn made with 100% pure new Canadian wool to match the characteristics of traditional hand-spun Coast Salish yarn. Learn more about it in our blog.
In cones, the Prairie Sea Fusion is available in our five natural sheep shade colours. The Natural Sheep Shades can be paired with Naturally Dyed Prairie Sea Fusion if you want to introduce a hint of colour to your work.
This is a Bulky weight yarn according to the Craft Yarn Council's Yarn Standard. You can find their simple guide to yarn weights here.
Please note: due to the small batch nature of our yarns, colour pooling can occur (though we work very hard to avoid it). When knitting large swatches of a single colour, we recommend introducing a new ball of yarn slowly by alternating balls row for row.
