Partridge Superwash is as plump as a partridge, as soft as its downy under-feathers, and as cozy as a covey... And it's machine-washable, too!

About This Yarn

• A single ply of incredibly sumptuous 100% superwash wool, Partridge Superwash is a portly pleasure! Spun and dyed in Peru, the superwash wool comes from a carbon-neutral mill in Uruguay that cares for the welfare of their workers and the well-being of their flocks.
• This chunky/bulky-weight yarn knits up into a supple fabric with a super-soft hand and a very satisfying density. Its tidy spin gives a very nice stitch definition to cables and interesting stitch patterns.
• Partridge Superwash comes in a palette of over two dozen gently heathered colors, from fresh Lemon Tree to deep Tidewater Blue. Use your favorites for everything from sweaters and blankets to wraps, hats, and mittens!
• Explore our collection of knitting patterns in Partridge Superwash and cast on for something soft and cozy!
• NOTE: Partridge Superwash is an update to our original Partridge yarn. This new version is machine-washable, a tiny bit thicker (although their gauges overlap at 3.75 stitches to the inch!), a touch toothier, and in a fresh, new palette!
