Our take on the Home Worsted Weight

Home Worsted Weight is a 100% American-made, 3-ply worsted wool yarn built as a round, full-bodied workhorse. Its soft, bouncy structure holds up across a range of gauges, from dense fabric to drapey fabric, and the smooth, even stitches make cables and crisp textures read clearly. It suits knitters making hats, sweaters, mittens, shawls and colorwork, and it competes with other 3-ply domestic wools on stitch definition and versatility rather than on a wide fiber blend range.
