4 skeins of 100% 6-ply unspun Canadian wool for knitting crochet SEE NOTES

Long discontinued and never equaled! This is White Buffalo 6-ply Unspun, a unique 100% wool that produces sweaters and accessories with incomparable warmth and character. The cake is made up of 6 plies of unspun and minimally processed wool. It is twisted as you work it. You can separate the plies and knit them as singles, if you don't want to knit at a bulky gauge. The wool also felts beautifully. This is a true Canadian classic! This yarn was first used in BC over 100 years ago by West Coast Salish women to create garments and blankets that expressed their culture. Over the decades, these sweaters gained world wide fame, and Spinrite started manufacturing the wool commercially in their mill in Listowel, together with patterns for sweaters inspired by the West Coast Salish knitters. Mary Maxim also made up kits and patterns incorporating Canadian motifs like maple leaves and hockey sticks. Check out Ravelry for some awesome examples. I recommend Sylvia Olsen’s book, “Unravelling Canada” for more information. I bought this yarn in 2004 and it has been in storage ever since, never used. The colour is a true teal blue/green. I have other colours available if you want to make one of the vintage picture sweaters. Patterns are available online and elsewhere. Please note that one of the cakes appears to have suffered some damage and a small amount of that cake may not be usable. I have taken this into account in the price.
