Another specialty will be yarn spun from White Blossom fleece shipped from Ireland. The White Blossom sheep, from a farm in Northern Ireland dedicated to preserving heritage breeds, was developed by back-crossing Hebrideans and Wensleydales over many generations. The fleece is prized for it’s curly, lustrous wool, perfect for textured spinning.

When you purchase from Not Your Mother’s Yarn, you will be gifting twice-once to yourself (or someone special), as well as to the FSH Society.

    Excellent! I’m not in the East Coast area, but I might be interested in some gifts for my relatives at Christmas. This will be our first Christmas after our son’s FSHD diagnosis. Do you do any remote online sales?

      Hi Ken,thank you so much for considering purchasing my yarn, a double pleasure since the money goes directly to the FSH Society. Unfortunately, I don’t do on-line sales. I know knitters, weavers, crocheters and “artsy” folks like this style yarn. Because each piece is a one-of-a-kind, it’s hard to translate that into a photo.
      I wish you the best with your son – there is so much hope on the horizon with research and trials, One can be very optimistic.
      Be well and full of joy
      Kathy
