Montana Sweater Co Bison Yarn is here ! OO La La!

Bison Cloud Blend

Bison /Alpaca 50/50 A deluxe yarn created with 50% prime bison and 50% ginger alpaca fibers to give you one of the softest yarns in the west. We recommend this blend for scarves or shawls since it is so light and delightful around the face and neck. Fibers are gathered from Montana ranches, milled at local mills, and spun into a soft hearty yarn. Each skein comes with an informational booklet with photos describing how the yarn came to be. Great for the fiber enthusiast who has to knit it all! Each skein is 3.5oz/100g. Approximately 235 yards.

 

Bison Ranch Blend

Montana Bison Wool is an idea that grew into a soft 2ply yarn of 25% Bison, 25% Alpaca, and 50% Wool we call Bison Ranch Blend. All fibers are gathered from Montana ranches, milled at local mills, and spun into a soft hearty yarn. Each skein comes with an informational booklet with photos describing how the yarn came to be. Great for the fiber enthusiast who has to knit it all! The yarn is a rich brown and mahogany color. Each skein is 3.5oz/100g. 2ply worsted weight. Approximately 262 yards per skein. #8 needles/4.2sts per inch.

An even MORE exotic fiber - Qiviut

The downy undercoat of the Muskox, is as soft as any South American exotic (compare to vicuna or guanaco!) We have three styles - 100%, 50% - with 50% Merino wool, and a soft melange of 30% Q, 20% silk, 30% alpaca and 20% Merino! In natural color - a soft latte.

 

Yarn Bowls are here!

Ellen Childress - Whistle Creek Pottery in Plains, Montana, made these for us! We also have the cutest knitting-sheep bowls, made by Hal Mathew right here in Missoula! Come see!

What, you may ask, is a yarn bowl? It is a nifty and decorative way to keep your ball (or two) of yarn in one place whilst you tug on it and knit happily. These are heavy enough, and large enough to accomodate a 4 oz ball of yarn (most yarns, anyway) and each have a hole and a slot, so you could use them with two balls. Only $35, they are a lovely gift for your favorite knitter (crochet-y types like them too.)!
