We were shown a lovely video about Ranch 02, met the staff (including Jared Flood), and then had the opportunity to shop.<br /><br />Ranch 02 is a somewhat rough yarn, probably very good for cables and an outer-layer sweater. I'm not sure how well it would drape, or if it would soften with washing. The colors, like most Brooklyn Tweed yarns seem to me, are somehow flat. From my perspective, a little dull. The red is not a vibrant color, more of a solid red with a passing friendship with brick; the most attractive colors were the yellows, greens and browns, which were drawn from the landscape in Wyoming where the sheep were raised.<br /><br />If you can, hold a skein before you fall in love -- it may be just what you want, or not.Camhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863241891948280552noreply@blogger.com
