Lomra - Lemongrass

Hand dyed with weld + rhubarb root.

Weld is an ancient dye plant. It is thought to have been used to dye the robes of the Vestal Virgins in Roman times. 

Rhubarb root dye is found mostly in the more ornamental varieties of rhubarb that grow in India, Tibet and Nepal.

Lomra is Irish for "fleece" and this yarn is grown, collected and spun in Ireland. Each skein comes with a traceability tag containing a QR code which leads you to a website with a list of the farmers where the wool was grown.

This yarn can be worn next to the skin and is perfect for knitting, crochet or weaving projects.
