Inspired by unspun roving-style yarns, three woolen-spun strands of lofty American Targhee-Columbia wool are gently twisted together to create this plump, chunky weight yarn with handcrafted appeal. We love Quarry for cables and textural stitchwork in warm yet lightweight sweaters, coats, blankets, and accessories. Wet block after knitting to reveal Quarry’s full beauty.

FIBER CHARACTERISTICS

We source Targhee-Columbia wool from Wyoming to make Shelter, Loft, and Quarry – this breed’s lofty, warmth-trapping fleeces deftly combine the softness and elasticity of finewool Targhee with the robust substance and warmth of mediumwool Columbia. This fiber’s versatile mingling of wearability and durability particularly shines in woolen-spun yarns and is wonderful for next-to-skin wear, outerwear, and heirloom pieces for the home.
