Ridge Sport is completely produced in the Driftless Region of Wisconsin. A lofty 3-ply sport weight yarn is produced from fine and medium fine wool breeds such as Targhee, Rambouillet, Merino, and Merino crosses. Ridge Sport is spun and dyed at Ewetopia Fiber Mill in La Farge, WI.
Hand dyed with professional, environmentally low-impact acid dyes, using kettle dyeing and over-dyeing techniques for subtle color changes throughout. Due to the hand dyeing process in small pots, please purchase enough for your project, and when using multiple skeins alternate skeins for seamless transitions between skeins, even within a dye lot there can be subtle changes from skein to skein.

Hand washing with wool specific soap is recommended. Lay Flat to dry.
The garment should be washed separately. For machine washing, we recommend that all wool garments be washed separately on a wool program, to ensure the gentlest treatment. Centrifuge well and dry the garment flat, preferably on top of a towel. Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted wool garments. This creates friction that can cause the garment to felt.
