The listing, Brooklyn Tweed's Shelter - 100% American Wool has ended.

This auction is for TWENTY full hanks of Shelter, 100% American wool. This is a large flatrate box filled to the brim!
from the website:
***
The distinctive character of Targhee-Columbia wool shines in our versatile medium-weight yarn. Shelter is woolen spun, meaning the fibers remain in a lofty jumble that traps air and offers remarkable warmth and lightness. Its two plies are gently twisted to preserve that buoyant quality, so Shelter is a little more delicate than most commercial yarns. Woolen-spun yarns are also more adaptable in gauge, as they can compress to a dense sport weight or bloom to cohere as a gauzy fabric when worked on large needles. Shelter has a dry, soft hand and a faintly rustic nature; woolen spinning sometimes results in slightly thinner or thicker sections, and you’ll find the occasional fleck of vegetable matter that proves our wool is never treated with harsh chemicals. Garments knit from Shelter achieve their full beauty after a wet blocking, as each stitch relaxes and bonds with its neighbors to produce an even, light, plush fabric with a halo. You shouldn’t notice any change in gauge. Shelter is designed to be a workhorse yarn that invites cables, ribbing, textured stitch motifs, open work, plain stockinette and garter stitch. We think it’s ideal for sweaters of every variety, winter accessories, and blankets.

20 balls is certainly enough for a blanket!
19 hanks are unused, one I started but will unravel before shipping. 8 hanks have been wound into balls already. 'The color is "embers" and needless to say, all hanks are from the same dye lot.
please consult the pics for gauge info!

You only have the very best. If I win, this beautiful fiber will not go unused lol.
I do love cotton, living in Miami. But what knitter can pass up some stunning yarn? Lol

Yes, I'm a yarn snob. lol I live in Central Texas but still knit mostly with wool. A lot of shawls and wraps, 'cause people crank up the A/C way too high for my liking! Wool socks at work all year round - I run around a lot. And in the colder months, nights absolutely get chilly enough for sweaters and ponchos and cowls and mittens. ;-)
