Sold to studios, teaching workshops and hand-weavers who would rather build their own cloth than buy ours.
Hand-spun means the grist varies along the length. It is not a commercial yarn and will not behave like one — expect to adjust tension as you go, and expect the finished fabric to bloom and soften considerably after its first wash.
Undyed. Allo takes natural dye well and synthetic dye unevenly, which is worth knowing before you commit a whole hank.

Sourced from Eastern hills spinning groups.
