Arbor is a classic DK weight with timeless versatility.

With a painterly palette of skein-dyed solid colors, Arbor is ideal for wear-everywhere sweaters and accessories.

FIBER CHARACTERISTICS
Targhee sheep from Montana and South Dakota provide their distinctively thick and heavy fleeces for Arbor. This American breed is a finewool, bearing the softness of its distant Merino ancestry, but with durability enhanced by additional longwool genetics. Targhee wool has an especially elastic quality that, when combined with worsted spun construction, produces plush yet sturdy fabrics suitable for next-to-skin wear.
GAUGES
Arbor’s springy worsted-spun construction is suitable for a wonderful range of gauges and can be used interchangeably with Dapple and Re-Ply Rambouillet:
- 5¼ – 6 stitches to 1”
- Suggested Needle: 3.75 - 4.5 mm (US 5-7)
- Suggested Hook: 4.5 - 5.5 mm (US 7 - I-9)
DYE PROCESS
Arbor is spun from undyed white wool, then skein dyed after spinning into a saturated palette of solid hues that let textured stitches and cables shine, create crisp colorwork, and highlight the natural luster of the wool fibers.
CARE
Arbor is a handcrafted product. For best results, we recommend alternating skeins when joining in a new skein for even color distribution.
