Springy, soft American Targhee wool is combed smooth and worsted-spun into a round and bouncy 3-ply yarn, creating crisp stitch definition in cables and textured fabrics. With a painterly palette of skein-dyed solid colors, Arbor is ideal for wear-everywhere sweaters and accessories.
145 yards (132 meters) | 50 grams | DK weight
3-ply worsted-spun construction
23.5 micron Targhee wool from Montana & South Dakota
FIBER CHARACTERISTICS
Targhee sheep from Montana and South Dakota provide their distinctively thick and heavy fleeces for Arbor. This American breed is a finewool, bearing the softness of its distant Merino ancestry, but with durability enhanced by additional longwool genetics. Targhee wool has an especially elastic quality that, when combined with worsted-spun construction, produces plush yet sturdy fabrics suitable for next-to-skin wear. GAUGES
Arbor’s springy worsted-spun construction is suitable for a wonderful range of gauges and can be used interchangeably with Dapple:
5¼ – 6 stitches to 1"
Suggested Needle: 3.75 - 4.5 mm (US 5-7)
Suggested Hook: 4.5 - 5.5 mm (US 7 - I-9)
CARE
Arbor is a handcrafted product. For best results, we recommend alternating skeins when joining in a new skein for even color distribution.
