...the rest of the story
After a year of research, we have chosen Cestari, Yarns Ltd to initiate our yarn
inventory.
Cestari yarns come
primarily from sheep
living at the Cestari family farm in Virginia. (Their
"Traditional Collection" of 100% wool combines wool from their sheep with other
responsible US grown wools.)
Owner, Francis Chester, came to America as a young boy from Italy, where
generations of his family raised sheep .
So, caring for the lovely animals is simply in his blood. You are welcome
to read more about the company/farm at their website by click
king
on their logo.
A Well-kept Family Farm in central Virginia with fifty
years in the fiber art business. Because of this, we are confident in
being able to offer a consistently available, tried and true collection of
yarns.
I'm so pleased with
reactions to this yarn. "I
love
it!" "It feels so soft." "I love the way it looks!" and on and on.
Personally, I fell in love with it after swatching up a dozen or so samples.
The connection to its original location (on an animal, or growing on American
ground as is the case with cotton content), came through stitch after stitch.
The business of Cestari, which equates
to the people of the business, are a pleasure to work with. They are
forthcoming, and enthusiastic. I'm having a a wonderful time getting to
know them and their excellent products.
So far, the whole relationship has been rewarding.
I can't wait to share it!
