Montara Sock
Montara is made from 100% Corriedale! Corriedale is a heritage breed sheep that was developed in New Zealand and Australia during the late 1800’s from crossing Lincoln or Leicester rams with Merino females.
This is the sock yarn for those who want to skip the superwash! This heathered grey base has all the wonderful characteristics of Corriedale in a smoothly spun sock yarn. It will plump up a bit more with its first wash than a superwash sock yarn does due to the retention of the scales that lock in air between the fibers.

Ravine DK
Riviera DK is 100% Cormo Wool!! Cormo is our shop owner’s most favorite breed of sheep. Cormo sheep were developed in the early 1960s in Tasmania, Australia, from crossing rams of the Corriedale breed with Superfine Saxon Merinos. The name Cormo is from the names of two parent breeds, Corriedale and Merino. The resulting wool of both breeds is rustic yet soft, highly elastic, and plumply squishy—giving wonderful stitch definition and a great hand to garments and accessories alike.
Ravine is a 4 ply DK weight Cormo wool sourced from Great Britain. It is the perfect balance of soft and grippy with beautiful stitch definition. Squishing it is a must! Its bouncy spin is perfect for sweaters and any textured fabric, especially cables and lace.
