Soft, sturdy, and wonderfully springy, our Knitting Yarn is as trusty a companion as knitting itself! Made in Peru, Knitting Yarn is 100% merino wool and is spun in four plies, which knit up into a smooth fabric with lovely stitch definition. It has a pleasant toothiness and a cushiony 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.
