Jill Draper has released a whole new set of colors this fall in her delightful Kingston yarn. They are now fully in stock at the shop!
Kingston is a Targhee Wool grown in the Finger Lakes region on a family owned & operated farm. Jill sources the fibre and then dyes it in the wool in her gorgeous primary colors and black. It is then carded into all of the amazing colors that you see here before it is spun into a springy 3 ply yarn. The result is a lovely DK weight yarn that is sure to be your favorite sweater. Each color is created from several primary colors of wool, resulting in a truly dynamic yarn with exciting flecks of color that allow all of the colors to coordinate well together.
Each color is named after the streets in Jill’s home base of Kingston.
