Other Jeny Originals Yarns
We carry other high quality yarns which complement The Wyoming Collection and Western Ranch Yarns. These are suitable for knitting, crocheting and weaving and many are available on the cone or in skeins of various sizes. With few exceptions these are not brand name yarns. Most are obtained directly from the mill, rancher or individual who produced them and would not ordinarily be for sale directly to the public. If you don’t see what you want, ask. We’ll try to track it down for you.
