Yarn
Spotlight:
Eunny and Clara are back in the Knitting Lab to dissect
heathered wool. A fall classic, this wool has a natural look and great
characteristics for a variety of uses. Featured on this Yarn Spotlight is
Harrisville Design's Highland
yarn and Halcyon Yarn's Geo Rug Wool. The Geo
Rug wool is a strong, single-plied yarn without a lot of twist that tends to
soften after washing. The Highland yarn comes in both skeins and cones and is
100% Sheltand wool that keeps its heathered look even after dyeing. Both these
classic yarns come in a variety of colors, including the heathered skeins and
swatches seen here. Also seen on this episode is Pear Tree's super soft wool
(purple and teal).
