Imperial Yarn & the Olympics
You have read about our love for Imperial Stock Ranch yarns, and seen the stunning samples we've featured in the shop. These yarns come from a family owned and operated ranch located on more than 30,000 acres of Oregon’s beautiful high desert where you’ll find resident populations of elk, deer, antelope, game birds and fish. A quick visit to the company’s website will provide you with more information about the Ranch, as well as the valuable conservation work they are doing to preserve the habitat that has been in their family for generations.
The yarn world is abuzz about Imperial Stock Ranch these days as the US Olympic Team will soon be modeling the Ralph Lauren designed team sweaters that were created using Imperial Stock Ranch Yarn. More about the amazing story of the team sweaters can be seen on a video here.
As you start planning your Olympic viewing, and imagining what you'd like to knit while in front of the screen cheering on your favorite athletes; we wanted to be sure that you remembered that we stock four yarns from Imperial: Columbia, Erin, Anna, and their Bulky 2 Strand Roving. Each has its own rustic charm, and having all four to choose from provides a fun selection of different fibers and weights to play with.
There is still time to plan a project, and stop in for the perfect yarn. Let us help you find a winning combination, and a color that you will enjoy as much as red, white, or blue.
