Yellow Dog Farm is located in the town of South Hero on South Hero Island in the middle of Lake Champlain. Our island town is officially part of northwestern Vermont. We started our mohair yarn operation in 2005 with the purchase of 3 bred female Angora goats. Four kids were born in May of that year and a buck, Shiloh, and his buddy, Oliver, were added in the summer of 2006. The goat shed that was built in the fall of 2004 was expanded during the fall of 2006 with the addition of a 24′ by 30′ two story barn with hayloft. Space was set-aside in the new barn for a wood turning wood working shop. We now have 12 goats! Our 3 youngest are Julia, Kevin and George, all Oscar winners!

This is a handpainted boucle yarn made from 78% mohair, 13% merino wool, and 9% nylon. Each skein contains 225 yards. We handpainted the yarn with vermillion and gold. It mixed and matched a bit to create a beautiful yarn that sparkles with true sunset colors.
The skeins were painted at the same time with acid based dye, but each should be considered unique as the yarn had a mind of its own when drawing in the dye colors. These skeins would mix and match well with our other yarn types: brushed and sport dyed in similar colors. Pictures are representative of the colors, each dye lot can be slightly lighter or darker.
