Ritual Dyes – Maven

Ritual Dyes – Maven

Maven is one of Ritual Dyes’ newest bases. US Grown & Milled Rambouillet. 2-ply fingering, rustic and beautiful.

American grown and custom-milled 100% non-superwash Rambouillet base. All fiber has been grown utilizing sustainable carbon farming practices on a farm that has been raising sheep in Northern California for 150 years. Ritual Dyes have partnered with Imperial Yarn to supply us with this climate beneficial wool. Rambouillet have been raised for their larger size and ability to adapt to various climates. They produce a dense but fine wool with a superior, long staple (over 3”).

Maven is a 2-ply fingering-weight wool with a slubby texture that reads as an all-season fabric. Its lightness makes it particularly suitable for knit tees or lighter weight sweaters. The palette makes it ideal for colorwork and also works up beautifully in cables and lace.
