As a product of one of the only commercial mills in Canada, any Briggs yarn is 100% Canadian from the sheep to your needles. As a base, Briggs comes in a variety of natural colors and many mill-dyed tones.

It was wound into wide flat cakes at the mill, and I typically dye it while still in the cake to produce a variegated \"shibori\"  effect. I mistook it for Icelandic Plötulopi for nearly two years, but people who knew their Lopi kept telling me it was too soft!
