Welcome to the newest addition to Brooklyn Tweed’s lineup of worsted-spun yarns, Peerie!
In keeping with their tradition of breed-specific all-American yarns, Brooklyn Tweed sourced Merino wool from Nevada and Utah and spun it with a 4-ply worsted construction into a springy and soft fingering-weight yarn. (Read more about breed-specific Merino on the Brooklyn Tweed blog.)
The huge palette of rich colors invites you to pick a single hue that strikes your fancy, or grab a whole handful for colorwork adventures! We’ve selected 24 of our favorite Peerie shades to bring into the shop – stop by to see them in person! (Join us on May 30 for our Peerie Launch Party!)
