About

Home-grown, handspun, natural fiber yarn for knitting, crocheting and weaving.
Real Yarn is a cooperative effort of nature, animals, kids, and me!
Real Yarn is made from naturally-colored, home-grown, hand-spun animal fiber.
Our herd consists of a variety of sheep, llamas, cashmere goats and angora rabbits. Our high-altitude ranch is located in Southern Colorado at 8500 ft. This climate is perfect for fiber-bearing animals, providing cold winter temps and mild short summers.
Everyone helps around here–from feeding, halter training, & mucking (yuck!), to helping with the newborns (now that’s fun!).
The actual fiber-to-yarn process is my job…clipping, brushing, carding, combing and spinning. I get great ideas from my kids on blending and coloring.
I thoroughly enjoy providing a natural, high-quality, and very unique yarn to my fellow fiber artists and friends!
