Amalgam

Amalgam was born when the farm that raises the Targhee wool for Kingston asked if I might be interested in some Welsh mountain Black wool. I was indeed & Amalgam was born. Made to be a sibling for Kingston it has the same spinning specs, 3 plies, DK weight & woolen spun. The 4 shades of Amalgam are made by varying the percentages of Targhee & Welsh Mountain Black -which you can maybe imagine is a naturally black wool. Amalgam 1 is 100% Targhee, Amalgam 2 is 80% Targhee 20% Welsh Mountain Black, Amalgam 3 is 60% Targhee 40% Welsh Mountain Black & Amalgam 4 is 24% Targhee & 76% Welsh Mountain Black. This yarn is bouncy & round & retains quite a bit of lanolin making is a dream to knit. Weight: DK Yardage: approx 270 yds / 247 m 4 oz / 113 g Gauge: 5-6 sts = 1" on US #5-7 (3.75-4.5mm) needles Package: 113g hank (this yarn must be wound into a cake or ball before using) Composition: Varying %s of Targhee & Welsh Mountain Black, 3-ply woolen-spun construction Care: hand wash and lay flat to dry  This yarn has been proudly made with New York State grown & USA spun wool.  Please remember that every effort is taken to represent the true colors of the yarn and that monitor settings will vary.
