Kelbourne Woolens Scout DK Weight Wool Yarn

Description Scout, from Kelbourne Woolens in Philadelphia, is A DK weight, 2 ply heathered wool designed with classic knitting and crochet in mind. Scout is yarn for the sake of yarn. Perfect for garments, Scout is put up in a generous 100 gram, 274 yard hank. It is unfussy, beautiful, high-quality, and comes in a gorgeous color palette. The wool in Scout is a cross between Corriedale and Merino. It is not as soft as Merino, but it is stronger and adds durability to the yarn. Scout is also unique in that it is a heather, meaning multiple colors are pre-blended prior to spinning to create a shade with a lot of depth and variation. Natural is the one exception to this – it is the undyed white shade of wool.
