Making Forge + Weld
Both Forge and Weld are spun and dyed at Mountain Meadow Wool in Buffalo, Wyoming. Getting fiber from sheep to skein is a multi-step process (and a bit of a messy one). Our sheepy friends are not the world’s cleanest animals, and finewool sheep like Merinos produce a significant amount of lanolin (an oily substance that coats the fleece and ultimately protects the fibers as they grow). So, once the fleece comes off the sheep, it has to be scoured to remove (most) of the lanolin and vegetable matter (hay, grass, etc.) that sheep pick up throughout the year. Finewools like Merino (which have shorter staple lengths) need special processing equipment to process the raw fleece, so we purchase what’s known as “combed top,” or Merino fiber that has already been scoured and carded.
We purchase Corriedale fleece from wool pools, and that raw fleece is scoured, carded, and pin drafted directly at MMW. We then combine natural colored and Corriedale fleece and white and grey Merino in various ratios in the later stages of the process, depending on the colorway we’re trying to produce. Our yarn is what’s known as a semi-worsted yarn, so the fibers are combed before spinning to be more “organized” than in a woolen-spun yarn, but not as much as in a traditional worsted-spun yarn, where the yarn would be pin drafted until all the fibers were lying flat and pointing in the same direction before spinning. The yarn is then spun and plied, and the neutrals (Ash, Fawn, and Aspen) are scoured again to remove spinning oil, before they’re hanked, labeled, and prepared for sale.
The team at MMW then gets a huge portion of our spun yarn ready fro the next step in this process — dyeing. Dyeing over grey adds depth and complexity to the colors we’re able to get, as does our mix of fibers: the Merino and Corriedale fibers in our yarn absorb dye differently, producing a multidimensional color and the slightest hint of sheen in some of the shades. After dyeing, these shades get washed (again!), hanked, labeled, and sent to HQ East.
We think our manufacturing partners are the best at what they do, and every time we see new colors come out of the dye house or more natural skeins come back from the mill, we’re thrilled. We’re also psyched about the fact that manufacturing in the northeast corridor allows us to minimize our carbon footprint as much as possible (recognizing that a product with this many steps in its process is always going to involve some shipping), and allows us to support what we hope is a resurgence in American textile manufacturing. American wool—and the farmers who produce it(!)—is amazing, and we want to be able to honor both that raw material and our values by turning it into the best yarn we can as traceably, sustainably, ethically, and environmentally responsibly as we can, and to us, this means doing it right here at home. It is not the cheapest or the most straightforward way to make yarn, but to us, the benefits of ending up with a product that both feels amazing to touch and that we can feel amazing about are worth it.
We’re happy to answer questions about our supply chain and our process, and we’re open to your feedback about ways that we can better serve both our customers and our values as we work on producing future batches of our yarn. We expect that there will always be evolutions in this process, but our core commitments remain the same, and we hope that knowing a bit more about who you are supporting along the way helps you get to know both us and our yarn a little bit better.
Being naturally sceptical, I never thought that money lost to con artists and their Ponzi schemes could really be found and recovered. I cried out to the Capitalix organisation to stick to our original conditions and give me my money back, but they refused. They like to claim that I have to pay a fee each time I try to withdraw my money, but I believe it’s just a ruse to keep me from getting the money they want by telling me new lies and taking advantage of my desperation until they wear me out. Things moved quickly as soon as I involved WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY. Compared to what I experienced when I attempted to handle the Capitalix group on my own, it was like night and day. Engage the experts; the risk is worthwhile. These are the greatest dudes ever. It is impossible for you to fight fraudulent investment cases like this because of our lack of expertise in this field. Even if you are correct, if you refuse to pay, they will hang your assets and destroy your financial future. Furthermore, nobody is interested in “why” it was ruined—they only want to hear your tale and then point the finger at you for making an effort to change your life. What then do you do? The irony is in the fact that you continue to provide money to the scammers even if you don’t agree with the accusations in order for them to release your money—you never get compensated, you just end up ruining yourself further. After battling this problem for over a year, I finally told myself the truth—that I had been duped—and reported my case to WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY in hopes that they would step in and assist me in regaining possession of my belongings before it was too late. My money moved from being pending to being available in my Coinbase wallet in less than 72 hours after the recovery process was started and quickly completed. Total turnaround. Wizard James rectified in 72 hours what took me a year of work and still had no resolution. I’ve been beating myself up for not asking for assistance sooner, but I just didn’t think it was possible. However they did. Reach out to them today on any of their available support channels to get help,
