Introducing a new dark and moody palette for YEARLING, perfect for autumnal weather!
Made from 85% wool and 15% alpaca, Yearling is a soft and warm yarn with a bit of drape and a slight halo. This 3-strand single ply worsted weight yarn; that merans there are 3 strands gently twisted together that create the illusion of a single ply yarn....but with greater strength.
In designing this yarn we worked with the mill and requested that the multi-colored fleeces be only lightly carded in order to retain the individual colors rather than completely blending into a single neutral tone. Every stitch on your needle will reveal a different combination of the various shades of the Shetland flock: white, grey, musket, and moorit.
We offer a spectrum of skein-dyed colorways using earth-friendly dyes and vinegar. Overdying the varying Shetland shades results in brighter color on the highlights and a deeper shade on the darker details lending much interest to the color of this yarn.
