New Yarn

Mountain Meadows Mill is a family operated business located in western Wyoming. They are dedicated to supporting local ranchers and using eco-friendly manufacturing practices. Their trademarked “Mountain Merino” wool comes from Rambouillet, Cormo, Targhee, Merino and Columbia breeds. We are pleased to offer three of their yarns and hope that you will love them as much as we do.

Cheyenne is an aran weight yarn in the trademarked Mountain Merino wool. It is a textured yarn made with a bulky single plyed with a sport weight single. Each 100 gr skein measures 160 yards. We have two colorways of this yarn.

Cody is a 2 ply sport weight yarn in the Mountain Merino blend. We have four colorways, each skein weighing 50 gr and measuring 200 yards.

Mountain Down is a sport weight yarn of 25% hand-pulled American Bison and 75% Mountain Merino. Each skein weighs 50 gr and measures 200 yards.
