We’re thrilled to announce that we now carry two yarns from Rowan: say hello to Pure Wool Worsted and Wool Cotton!<\/p>\n

Pure Wool Worsted is a superwash, worsted weight wool that comes in a wide range of colors, including subtle heathered shades that we don’t often see in superwash yarns. Each 100 gram skein boasts 219 yards, enough to knit a hat, small scarf or pair of mittens.<\/p>\n

There are so many uses for medium weight, machine-washable wools, from sweaters and accessories to blankets and baby things, and we carry many\u00a0yarns like these\u00a0for exactly that reason. So far, Pure Wool Worsted is the most affordable, however, and we love finding sources for high quality fiber at a reasonable price.<\/p>\n

We put Pure Wool Worsted to the test on our needles and in Anne’s washing machine, and it came out looking good:\u00a0stitch definition crisp, gauge unchanged, fabric softened. Look for this machine-washed swatch at the shop and feel for yourself.<\/p>\n

Wool Cotton is a dk weight blend of merino wool and cotton, also machine-washable. Each 50 gram skein has 123 yards, enough to knit a baby hat or short pair of fingerless mitts.<\/p>\n

Working with Wool Cotton, we were\u00a0impressed by the smooth, obedient quality of the yarn, and pleased to see it come out of the washing machine looking like new.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN3893\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cotton and wool make a lovely fiber blend for our climate, particularly in a dk weight. I can see Wool Cotton in the same wide variety of projects that suit Pure Wool Worsted: sweaters large and small, baby blankets, hats, mitts, shawls, and cowls. Look for more project ideas and pattern inspiration on the HYS Pinterest page<\/a>, and come by the shop to plan your next project with Rowan yarns!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
