A harmonious blend of warm oranges, soft purples, and earthy beiges
Our Making Tracks line of yarn is a variegated blend of soft wool (mostly Corriedale) from flocks in the American West or South America (more info). Scoured and combed at Chargeurs, it is hand-dyed, pin-drafted, spun, and finished at our mill in Vermont. This non-superwashed, non-mulesed yarn pairs beautifully with our Roots line of solid yarn, which is made with the same base.
Each skein is unique
There is a lot of variation within each batch of Making Tracks that we have aimed to showcase this in the product photos. If you have a specific idea of what you'd like, leave an order note at checkout. You can also make a
virtual shopping appointment to pick out your specific skein.

Care
Wet-Blocking Care Instructions
Your project isn’t truly complete until it’s had its first wash! Here’s how to help our yarns reach their full potential:
- Fill a sink or basin with cold water.
- Add a small amount of no-rinse wool wash.
- Submerge your knitted item, gently squeezing out any air bubbles to ensure it stays fully underwater.
- Soak for up to 10 minutes. While our dyes are tested for colorfastness, some dyes are notoriously difficult to set and may release a small amount of excess color. Using cold water, gentle wool wash, and a short soak will help prevent color redeposit on light-colored fibers.
- Drain the water.
- Gently lift your knitted item from the water and remove excess moisture by rolling it between clean, dry towels with light pressure.
- Lay flat and shape to air dry.
For projects with contrasting colors, we recommend steam blocking to avoid any color transfer.

Gorgeous colors and such lovely yarn. I haven't knitted my 11:11 sweater with it yet so I can't speak to the longevity of the fiber, but it feels heirloom in my hands. Will buy from JFM again!

As ever the most beautiful yarn and the gorgeous maple candy (but 🤫 none of the family know about that!!!)
What a stunning yarn. Ordering from the Uk and a very reasonable shipping rate. Will definitely purchase again. I haven’t started the project yet but can’t wait to cast on.
Especially looks great with paprika.
Amazing!
Days End is a wonderful combination of colors, is so soft and such a nice weight to work with and wear. It is going to make a great colorwork sweater.
Beautiful yarn, awesome colors. I plan to use it for a special cowl. Thank you JFM!

Love the three skeins. Now to find a pattern to knit them!

Sadly the picture show the yarn a bit brighter than reality. I was hoping for a brighter color as it was for a friend, so I will look for something else.
gorgeous combination. I think I'll use all 3 together somehow.
Store owner replied: Sounds like a good plan!
