Soft, sturdy, and wonderfully springy, our Knitting Yarn is as trusty a companion as knitting itself! Made in India, Knitting Yarn is 100% merino wool from New Zealand, a leader in ethical and sustainable wool production, where careful regulations, an ideal climate, and a lack of predators all contribute to the healthy, low-stress lives of the sheep. Knitting Yarn is spun in four plies, which knit up into a smooth fabric with lovely stitch definition. It has a pleasant toothiness and a squishy feel. Knitting Yarn is a light worsted (DK)-weight, best knit on US 6 to 8 needles, and is available in 100-gram, 219-yard balls (no winding and enough yardage in one ball for an adult hat or pair of mittens!). It comes in two dozen gently heathered colors that pull their inspiration from the natural world, from serene Pine Needle to fresh Sweet Melon. We love Knitting Yarn for mittens, hats, and scarves, for blankets and sweaters. For knitting and crochet. For pretty much everything.
