PRE-ORDER Elora (100g skeins)
$33.50 CAD
Note: Pre-orders for the 2023 batch of Norwood and Elora yarns will ship by the end of October. Quantities are limited. Pre-orders will remain open until September 30th, or while supplies last. Questions? See our pre-order FAQs page!
Please note that photos of the natural (undyed) colours show last year's batch of Elora, and some of the photos of the hand-dyed colours are shown on our Norwood (DK) base. The colours of this year's batch of Elora will be very similar, but may not be an exact colour match.
New for 2023! For the first time this year we're offering 100g skeins of Elora in our full range of dyed colours as well as four natural undyed shades. These full-sized skeins are perfect for larger projects and for pairing with our Elora mini-skein sets.
This fingering-weight wool is very fine, and is just as soft as our imported merino.
Elora is a completely Canadian locally-sourced yarn. The Norbouillet (Rambouillet-cross) fleeces are purchased from Pine Hollow Farm in Ontario and sent to Wellington Fibres (a small mill) for spinning, before coming to us to be dyed in our Montreal studio. You can read more about the story of this yarn on our blog.
For more information on working with hand-dyed yarns, please see our FAQs page.
