The superwash fleeces come from a carbon-neutral mill in Uruguay that puts their flock's welfare and workers' safety first. A wonderful mill in Peru spins these fleeces into a smooth single ply and then applies lively colors by hand onto the warm white yarn.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePepper’s palette has two distinct personalities, both creating marbled fabrics full of depth, contrast, and lively surprises from stitch to stitch. Some are delicately seasoned: 3 or 4 cheery colors are speckled by hand onto a warm white base, creating scattered flecks of color. Others are turned up a notch, with bolder, saturated hues hand-printed onto the yarn, coating the strand in rich color with just a hint of white peeking through. Compare the buttery yellows of Spring Daffodil with the rich gold of Sunflower Yellow to see the difference!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnitting up at a sport to light worsted\/DK weight, Pepper is not too thick and not too thin. For speedier knits, it's especially fun to hold two strands together to double the color play.
