About IAGARB I am holding CT's Kivalina, my newest IAGARB registered doe. She was tested on November 6, 2010 under IAGARG standards with a wool weight of 522 grams over a 90 day period and gross annual wool weight of 2088 grams! Here I am with Raspberry Farm's Gabriel. She is another newly IAGARB registered doe. Also tested on November 6, 2010, she tested with a wool weight of 450 grams over a 90 day period and gross annual weight of 1800 grams. My objective is to consistently use breeding stock that is registered and produce animals that meet the IAGARB standard of perfection. As an IAGARB member, one benefit is to participate in co-op mill runs. As a group, we produce two types of luxurious yarn. The wool comes from small farms (IAGARB members) all over North America and processed at Zeillinger Wool in Michigan, USA...yes, an American made product! IAGARB Frost is a three ply sock yarn with a blend of 50% angora, 30% nylon, and 20% superwash merino. IAGARB Blizzard is a two ply yarn with a blend of 85% angora and 15% domestic merino. Both yarns are a heavy fingering weight in skeins weighing approximately 2 ounces and are approximately 200 yards. It will knit in gauges from 4-8 stitches per inch. As you knit, the yarn will bloom. The IAGARB Frost may be machine washed but it is recommended that both IAGARB Frost and IAGARB Blizzard be hand washed All yarn and roving is hand dyed by me...please visit my web store www.randcranch.ecrater.com For more information about IAGARB, go to www.iagarb.com |
