Taos Wools Chica is a single-ply, fine tapestry weight heritage wool blend that is grown, spun and hand dyed in the USA.

This yarn weaves up well at 10-12 epi for a weft-faced weaving. Multiple strands can be "bundled" and woven at a time (in the same shot) for color gradation or if you prefer weaving a sett closer to 8 epi.

Taos Wools (originally Weaving Southwest) is a textile gallery, weaving classroom and yarn store in Arroyo Seco, New Mexico. It owes its existence to the Rachel Brown, the amazing fiber artist (tapestry weaver, dyer, spinner) and author of “The Spinning, Dyeing and Weaving Book”. Recently we contacted Joe, who owns Taos Wools, to ask if there was a way we could work together. He sent us samples of their wool and we fell in love with it. We asked Joe if he could dye some colors just for us so we could package them in sets in smaller quantities so Mirrix customers could experience a range of their colors and the absolute loveliness of their yarn. He said yes and was just as excited as we were. The dyed colors are variegated, giving your tapestry more complexity. The natural grays are stunning. In addition to the lovely weft yarn, Taos offers warp to die for. We chose the two-ply wool warp because it is so strong and well twisted. We had been searching for the perfect wool warp for a very long time.

We hope you enjoy these wools as much as we do.

We are offering three curated yarn kits shown below: The Colors Kit, The Neutrals Kit and the Complete Kit and are also selling warp separately here and loom starter packages here.
