Imbue Sport
Imbue Sport’s 3-ply construction creates a soft, springy yarn that gives gentle drape to stockinette and subtle definition to textured stitch patterns. Worsted spun from fine American Merino wool, Imbue Sport knits up into lightweight fabrics with a lofty, plush hand.
Rare in a worsted spun yarn, Imbue Sport’s heathered colorways are blended from an assortment of fleece-dyed solid colors, creating richly complex shades that harmonize beautifully in colorwork and stripes.
In a versatile sport weight that knits beautifully at a wide range of gauges, Imbue Sport is an ideal choice for lightweight sweaters and accessories.

FIBER CHARACTERISTICS
The wool for Imbue Sport comes from Merino sheep raised in Utah and Nevada. An ancient breed hailing back to 12th century Spain, the “King of Sheep“ is renowned for supremely soft and dense finewool fleeces with lively spring, velvety luster, and superb vibrance of color when dyed. Ideal for lightweight sweaters and accessories, Imbue Sport’s worsted spun 3-ply construction brings smoothness and durability to this wonderfully soft wool.
GAUGES
Imbue Sport’s springy worsted-spun construction knits beautifully at a wide range of gauges:
- 5¾ - 7 stitches to 1”
- Suggested Needle: 3.25 - 4 mm (US 3 - 6)
- Suggested Hook: 3.5 - 4.5 mm (US E-4 - 7)
DYE PROCESS
Like an artist mixing their paints, we blend brilliantly dyed hues of unspun wool in precise proportions to create each colorway of Imbue Sport. When spun, these bright solid colors mingle into richly heathered shades of beautiful depth and luminosity, ensuring harmonious cohesion across the entire palette for colorwork projects or when pairing separates in your hand knit wardrobe.
CARE
Imbue Sport is a handcrafted product. For best results, we recommend alternating skeins when joining in a new skein for even color distribution.
