Meet Upstate, a 80% Corriedale 20% Alpaca DK weight yarn that is sourced, spun, and dyed in the US. It is 2-ply construction with 260 yards/ 237 meters per 100g. The yarn was custom spun for me by a mill in upstate New York, something I’ve always wanted to do. The non-superwash Corriedale is beautifully rustic and bouncy and the alpaca adds warmth with a slight halo.

Hand wash with gentle wool wash in cold water and lay flat to dry.
