Brooklyn Tweed Wool Yarn - Quarry Chunky - Gypsum
$28.95
Visit product page →Quarry is a chunky sibling to Shelter and Loft, inspired by roving-style “unspun” yarns and offered in pillowy 100-gram skeins. Three strands of the same lofty, woolen-spun Targhee-Columbia fleece are gently spun together into a plump yarn that looks like a single ply and has greater tensile strength and stitch definition than a true unspun yarn. Quarry loves to cable and beautifully renders all kinds of textural stitch work. We think it’s ideal for sweaters, coats, blankets, and cozy accessories. Developed, sourced, processed, spun and dyed in the USA.
TARGHEE-COLUMBIA WOOL CHARACTERISTICSThe Targhee-Columbia breed combines the softness and elasticity of finewool Targhee with the robust substance and warmth of mediumwool Columbia. This versatile mingling of wearability and durability makes Targhee-Columbia suitable for next-to-skin wear, outerwear, or heirloom pieces for the home. We source this breed for Shelter, Loft, and Quarry; the woolen construction of these yarns further enhance the fleece’s lofty and warmth-trapping characteristics.
Specs:- 200 yards (182 meters) | 23-24 microns | approx. 100 grams | chunky weight
- Wyoming-grown Targhee-Columbia wool
- Dyed in Philadelphia
- Spun in New Hampshire
- Comes in a skein - not a ball
- 3.5 stitches to 1" | Suggested Needle: 6 mm (US 10)
- 3 stitches to 1" | Suggested Needle: 8 mm (US 11)
Care: Wet-blocking
- Fill a sink or basin with warm water and submerge the fabric in water, gently squeezing out any air bubbles so that the piece can remain under water without being held there.
- Soak work for 20-30 minutes, allowing fabric to become completely saturated.
- Remove excess moisture by rolling your fabric between clean, dry towels with light pressure.
- Lay fabric flat and shape to air dry.

Brooklyn Tweed Wool Yarn - Shelter Worsted - Fossil
$19.95
Visit product page →Brooklyn Tweed's versatile 2-ply worsted-weight yarn, made with American Targhee-Columbia wool. Shelter is woolen spun, meaning the fibers remain in a lofty jumble that traps air and offers remarkable warmth and lightness. Once knit, Shelter achieves its full beauty after a wet blocking, as each stitch relaxes and bonds with its neighbors to produce a plush fabric with a halo. We think it’s ideal for knitting sweaters of every variety, winter accessories, and blankets. Like its fingering-weight sibling Loft, Shelter is fleeced-dyed.
Developed, sourced, processed, spun and dyed 100% in the USA.
