It Starts With Wool

 

As knitters and designers, we understand that how our yarns behave in your hand and in your finished garments is their most important characteristic. Lots of tiny choices along the way go into producing that particular hand feel and that particular kind of finished garment, however, and we want you to be able to understand both how our yarns are made and why they behave the way they do—both because we think it’s a cool story, and because it will help you use them to produce amazing FOs. And it turns out the first of those decisions is probably the most important: what kind of wool were we going to use, and where were we going to find it. 

We source all of our wool domestically—fine Merino in white and grey from larger ranches in Colorado and New Mexico, and Corriedale in a variety of natural colors from smaller farmers. Because of the scale we’re hoping to operate at, it doesn’t make sense for us to single-source our yarns, that is, to buy wool only from one or two particular farmers. Instead, we purchase wool that has been “pooled” from across a region and that meets our specifications as to micron count (the diameter of the fibers, a common proxy for softness), staple length (the length of the individual fibers, a common proxy for durability), and color. We can still maintain traceability and specificity this way, but we can also maintain consistency across colors and batches. This should mean that H+W’s yarns behave similarly over time, which is important to us as both knitters and designers.


Forge and Weld are both made from a blend of 70% Merino and 30% Corriedale fleece. Merino is, by all accounts, the most numerous sheep breed in the world, and it’s probably the sheep breed you’re most familiar with. Merino fibers generally have very low micron counts, and tend to be quite soft, but also tend to have relatively short staple lengths, which tends to make them more susceptible to pilling. Corriedale, on the other hand, is somewhere between a long wool and a fine wool (the breed was created by crossing Spanish Merino ewes and English Lincoln Longwool rams), and produces, according to Clara Parkes’ The Knitter’s Book of Wool, “a smooth and extremely durable worsted[-spun] yarn.” Blending Merino and Corriedale fleece gives us the best of both worlds: the majority-Merino mix gives us great softness, loft, and next-to-skin wearability, while the Corriedale adds wonderful natural color and enough strength and durability for heirloom-quality FOs. Forge and Weld are spun in what’s known as a semi-worsted system, which combines some of the airy, delicate bloom of a woolen-spun yarn with the strength, structure, and stitch definition of a worsted-spun yarn, and lets the best natural qualities of both breeds shine through.

    From the very first contact, their team was incredibly supportive and professional. They explained the entire recovery process in detail, helping me understand each step involved in tracing and retrieving the stolen funds. What truly set them apart was their transparency and honesty—they didn’t promise miracles, but instead gave me a realistic overview of what was possible.

    Throughout the process, I received constant updates and thorough explanations, which helped ease my anxiety. The level of communication and care they provided was beyond my expectations. Their technical expertise was evident from the start, and within just a few weeks, they were able to trace the path of my lost cryptocurrency through various wallets and exchanges.

    The most amazing part? Recovery Hacker 101 was able to successfully recover a substantial portion of my stolen funds, something I had almost given up hope on. Their persistence and dedication to my case were truly remarkable.

    I’m extremely grateful for their work and highly recommend Recovery Hacker 101 to anyone in need of cryptocurrency recovery services. If you’ve lost crypto due to fraud, hacking, or even a mistake, don’t hesitate to contact them at recoveryhacker101[at]gmail[dot]com. Their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to helping clients recover their lost assets make them the best in the business.

    Thank you, Recovery Hacker 101, for helping me get back what I thought was lost forever.

    Many binary operations are rippers. I invested about $320,000 then i decided to withdraw after several week but the withdrawal wasn’t successful, then I tried to contact the binary operation email and phone number, I didn’t get any response from them that was when everything started looking weird. Some weeks later I got a mail from them insisting I should invest more money if I want to withdraw my money which I rejected, and I never hear from them again that was when I knew I had been scammed. I was really devastated at those moment and felt so bad that my hard earn money is gone. After some month I came across a lot of testimonies on many bitcoin site how RECOVERYHACKER101 @ GMAIL []com had helped many people recovered there stolen, scammed or duped money on bitcoin or any other form on digital currency. I contact them and they promised to help me get my money back, asked me some personal details of the scammer which I provided. The result was amazing I recovered all my stolen money back within 72 hours I was so happy as I never believe I could get my money back. Thanks RECOVERYHACKER101 you restore Joy into my life after several pain I’m so indebted!!

    Hello, I am Aaron Salva from Stockholm, Sweden. I want to share my experience with internet scammers. I lost about Euro 155,400.00 to a fake crypto investment scam. They posed as an investment company that could deliver a certain percentage in returns if you deposit your Bitcoin with them. At first, it seemed real, it worked twice. I didn’t realize they set up a bot (robot) that will completely shut down your account after you have decided to invest a higher amount. So I couldn’t access my crypto account anymore. I contacted customer service and they told me about an unending website upgrade. To cut the long story short, it was a scam and I was able to do research and saw a comment about a similar experience with a bitcoin scam, and how WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY help a victim recover back her stolen crypto within 72 hours, I decided to contact them because I was desperately in need of help to get back my life savings. They asked me some questions regarding the investment, I told them and they asked for my bitcoin wallet address, which I provided for them. To my greatest surprise, they helped me recover my invested crypto back. have you been scammed of your Crypto or Bitcoin? Do you need a reliable hacker to help you with anything related to hacking? Contact them via email at wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com or WhatsApp Number: +44 (741) 836-7204, WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY is trustworthy and they are always ready to help you out.
