FIBER CHARACTERISTICS

Finewool Targhee sheep raised in Montana and South Dakota provide their distinctively dense fleeces for Arbor Lodge. This American breed has all the softness of its Merino forebears, with added structure from longwool genetics. Targhee wool has an especially elastic quality ideal for worsted spinning, knitting up into plush, sturdy fabrics suitable for next-to-skin wear.

GAUGES

Arbor Lodge’s springy worsted-spun construction is suitable for a wonderful range of gauges and can be used interchangeably with Quarry:

  • 3 - 3½ stitches to 1”
  • Suggested Needle: 6 - 8 mm (US 10 - 11)
  • Suggested Hook: 5.5 - 6.5 mm 6.5 - 9 mm (US K-10½ - M-13)

DYE PROCESS

Arbor Lodge 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 Lodge is a handcrafted product. For best results, we recommend alternating skeins when joining in a new skein for even color distribution.
