This 3 ply is a dyed in the wool tweed with lots of flecks of color in it. It has been made with Targhee wool from the Finger Lakes Region of New York State. Its three ply construction makes it round & bouncy, great for cables or colorwork. Kingston snuggly soft to knit but does have a little chaff (hay) in it, the mill doesn't use a harsh chemical wash to dissolve it.
This yarn has been proudly made with New York State grown & USA spun wool.
Hand wash in cool water & lay flat to dry for the longest wearing garment.
Suggested gauge: 5-6sts/in on US #5-7 (3.75-4.5mm) knitting needles
Jill Draper Makes Stuff was born out of the desire to showcase the many beautiful breeds of wool while appreciating the work of each person & animal involved in the process.
Jill has been a maker as long as she can remember. After graduating Pratt Institute with a degree in Fashion Design & working in NYC for several years Jill realized she craved a closer relationship with the things she was designing. After a move Upstate, Jill started partnering with local farms to buy directly from the people raising the fiber & then bringing it to local mills to have it custom spun into the yarn she dreams up.
All yarns are made domestically from sheep to skein, including every step in the process.
