You're going to love this yarn.

It's as gentle on the earth as possible. The wool is fully grown and spun in the US, where you likely live. It's non-superwash (untreated). The merino-rambouillet sheep who grow this wool live in the western part of the US, and the spinning happens in my home state of North Carolina. A yarn that's made in the US means less travel, a small footprint, and worker protections.
It feels great in your hands: It's next-to-skin soft at 21 microns and is bouncy, elastic, and squishy.
It will last a long, long time: It has a tight twist and 3-ply structure, which help it resist pilling for a tiny bit longer than other very soft wools.
It makes a plush and well-defined fabric: Stockinette fabric is squishy and plush, and textured stitch patterns have beautiful definition. But my favorite is a cable pattern in Harvest Sport. Cables simply pop!

Gauge
My ideal gauge for Harvest Sport is around 23 to 25 sts to 4 inches (10 cm), which I usually achieve with a US size 4 or 5 needle (3.5 to 3.75 mm).

Harvest Sport is my favorite yarn for lighter weight sweaters.

Do you need to alternate skeins?

Yes. All of my yarn is dyed by hand in small batches of four skeins. There will be variations in color intensity and placement. I think that’s part of what makes each skein perfect – they’re not identical. If you will be using more than 1 skein in your project, alternate skeins to blend any color differences.

Caring for your finished item

My wool yarns should always be hand-washed with a gentle wool wash and cold-water rinse.

Depending on the difference in chemistry between your local water and mine, there may be some color residue in the wash process. Washing and rinsing in cold water will help to minimize this.

Always let your knitted item air dry to prevent shrinking or felting and to keep your item looking its best.

Very nice!!

Dear Anne, I haven't had a chance to play with everything yet, but I can say the following. Handwriting my name on your letter was a super-nice touch. I will be smelling the candle for ages before I ever decide to burn it. Yarn colors festively out of my normal zone. Can't wait to build the advent calendar. LOVE the stitch markers and their little jar. The little bowl! Couldn't figure out what the "bell" was. Did I get a llama instead? Overall - a 10. Thank you so much for the experience. Sincerely, Sydney

Special yarn

This is the only yarn subscription I have held onto over this last year. It's always gorgeous and so incredibly soft. It's so special to me, in fact, that I keep it in a bin next to my go bag so I can grab it if we have to evacuate. I have never regretted this beautiful subscription and so look forward to receiving the yarn! 💚

Best subscription out there

I've been an on and off subscriber for a few years and it's, hands down, the best one out there. Each shipment has a bundle of the SOFTEST, most luxurious cashmere blend fingering yarn in the loveliest of shades. I'm currently not a member and am begging to be let back in. ;)

The Best Green

I ordered this skein from Anne because I love green, and Toad Hall has a myriad of greens that read as a solid. I haven't yet knit with it but it's sitting by my knitting chair for me to fondle at will. It came with a pattern for Anne's Blossom hat and I believe that's what I will knit with it. Loveliness!

Lovely yarn

I purchased the Targhee Sweater yarn in Herdwick. It is a beautiful variegated green, that reminds me of evergreen foliage. The yarn is wonderfully squishy and springy and round. I am really enjoying knitting with it and highly recommend Anne's lovely yarns!
