Locally sourced wool
Time to think about where your yarn comes from . Where does the wool your using to knit,spin,or weave actually come from ? My experience over the many years as a weaver has been to use what’s readily available through yarn stores and yarn suppliers .
Now 2019 with trade tariffs kicking in China a huge yarn supplier is closing its doors for a lot of companies.
Australia a leader in Merino wool has stopped many yarn companies . My favorite here in Maine is closing its doors after being in business since the 1800’s . Wow !
So what do you think? Will we now start to produce our fiber more locally ? We will have to see. I know as a weaver I am going to be more aware and purchase my yarn more locally.
